Spicy Harissa Chicken with Spoon Salad

Also from my wonderful new cook book, I give you Spicy Harissa Chicken with Spoon Salad! :)
FIrst you must make the harissa paste, which i got from Ian Thorpes cook book, Cook For Your Life. It is a delicious spicy paste that lasts up to 6 months in your fridge!

Grab some dried red chillies and dehydrate them in boiling water for 30 mins. 

Drain the chillies. 

Mix up some spices 

Add the spices, chillie, garlic, more spices and salt into a processor.

This creates the wonderful Harissa paste!

Now marinate your chicken breasts and cool in the fridge while you prepare the spoon salad. 

Firstly chargrill the capsicums

Set them aside to cool on a plate. 

Score the tomatoes with a cross on each end... 

Then place in boiling water for 30 seconds.

Transfer the tomatoes to a bowl of ice cold water.

Chop up your capsicum and tomatoes plus some red onions, cucumber, parsley and mint. Also add another teaspoon of Harissa paste and some chopped chillies. 

Mix all together and drizzle some red wine vinegar on top. Then place in a sieve to remove excess liquid. 

Put it all together and serve with pita bread, couscous and yoghurt! 

Now dish it up, eat and ENJOY!

The recipes look spectacular and I began with my first dinner of Moroccan Pasta. It turned out great and the whole family loved it. Definitely and keeper and one to use again. :)

Prepared all my ingredients :)

And this was the final result!

It turned out great, just like the picture in the book. The hint of lemon added a fantastic kick
