Worked out from the ingredients. How we work out our numbers

Ingredients

  • 450 g Chicken breast, cubed
  • 0.5 g Saffron threads
  • 60 ml Lemon juice, fresh
  • 40 ml Oil
  • 80 g Grated onion
  • 4 g Salt and black pepper
  • 150 g Tomato, halved

Method

  1. 1

    Steep saffron in 2 tablespoons of hot water for 5 minutes. Mix saffron water with lemon juice, oil, grated onion, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Toss chicken cubes in the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 20-30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge).

  3. 3

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15 minutes. Thread marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, alternating with halved tomatoes.

  4. 4

    Heat a grill or grill pan to high heat. Grill skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and charred at the edges.

  5. 5

    Remove from grill and serve immediately over saffron rice, with charred tomatoes as garnish. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the top.
