- 200 g Konjac rice
- 200 g Chicken thighs
- 1 tbsp Tahini
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- ½ Lemon
- 25 g Yogurt (optional)
- 25 g Cucumber (optional)
- 1 tsp Sumac (optional)
- 8 g Parsley (optional)
Method
- Cut the chicken thighs into large pieces and turn them through the yoghurt, the lemon juice, salt and pepper. Leave them to sit while everything else is prepared.
- Drain the konjac rice and rinse it thoroughly under cold water, then dry-fry it in a hot pan for 3 minutes, shaking often, until the water has driven off and the grains squeak.
- Loosen the tahini with cold water a spoonful at a time until it turns pale and pourable. Dice the cucumber and chop the parsley.
- Get a heavy pan very hot with the olive oil and cook the chicken in a single layer for 8 minutes, turning once, until the yoghurt marinade has charred in patches and the meat is cooked through.
- Spread the konjac rice on a plate, pile the charred chicken over it with the pan oil, then spoon the tahini sauce across. Scatter the cucumber, parsley and sumac.
