-
Put 1 mug of couscous and 2
mugs of boiling water into a bowl with a small pinch of
salt and cover .On a large sheet of greaseproof paper,
toss the chicken with salt, pepper, the oregano, allspice
and finely grated lemon zest. Fold over the paper, then
bash and flatten the chicken to 1.5cm thick with a rolling
pin. Put into the frying pan with 2 tablespoons of olive
oil, turning after 3 or 4 minutes, until golden and cooked
through.
-
Using a box grater, coarsely
grate the cucumber. Sprinkle it with a small pinch of
salt, then squeeze and scrunch with clean hands to get rid
of the excess salty water. Pop in a bowl with the yoghurt,
juice of ½ a lemon and a pinch of pepper, finely chop and
mix together. Remove the stalk and seeds from the peppers,
then pulse in the processor with the trimmed spring onions
and the parsley until finely chopped.Scatter over a large
tray or platter.
-
Add the peas to the veg (if
using frozen peas, blanch them in boiling water for a
couple of minutes first), destone and tear over the
olives, then squeeze over the juice of the zested lemon
and add the extra virgin olive oil.Fluff up and scatter
over the couscous, toss well and season to taste. Move the
cooked chicken to a board, slice it up, then lay it around
the couscous.Crumble over the feta and serve with the
tzatziki
