Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 180°C/ 160°C (fan)/ 400°F/ Gas 6
Peel one whole onion and slice a few rings off it (as finely as you can)
Separate the onion rings, place them in a bowl of cold water and set aside
Tip: the cold water removes some of the harsh flavour from the raw onion
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid) with 1 tbsp [2 tbsp] vegetable oil, add the chicken with a pinch of salt and cook for 3 min on each side until golden
Meanwhile, dice the remaining onion[s]
Transfer the coloured chicken to a baking tray, put it in the oven for 7-10 min or until slightly under cooked, then return the pan to a low heat, add a knob of butter and the diced onion with a pinch of salt and sugar and cook until step 5
Meanwhile, add the rice, 350ml [700ml] water to a pot with a lid over a high heat and bring to the boil
Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 10-15 min or until all the water has absorbed and the rice is cooked
Once cooked, remove from the heat and keep covered until serving
Meanwhile, boil a kettle
Dice the tomato[es]
Chop the chocolate up coarsely
Dissolve the stock cube[s] in 300ml [500ml] boiled water, add the chopped chocolate and peanut butter and whisk to combine - this is your chocolate stock
Add the cumin and tomato paste and to the softened onion and cook for 1 min
Add the chipotle paste, diced tomato and chocolate stock
Whisk to combine and bring to the boil over a medium-high heat - this is your mole sauce
Transfer the chicken to the mole sauce and cook, covered, for 5 min or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened
Meanwhile, chop the coriander finely, including the stalks
Roll the lime[s] with your hand on a hard surface (to release more juice!) and cut in half
Shred the cooked chicken while in the pan (we like to use a knife and fork!)
Fluff the cooked rice and squeeze the juice of half the [whole] lime into it and mix in the coriander
Cut the remaining lime into wedges
Serve the chicken mole over the rice
Garnish with the drained onion rings, a big dollop of Greek yoghurt and the lime wedges
Enjoy!
