Chicken Skewers With Broad Bean Hummus Food

CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH BROAD BEAN HUMMUS

Steps:

• Mix the oil, oregano, paprika, lemon juice and garlic in a bowl with some black pepper and a pinch of salt, then add the chicken and toss well. Thread the chicken onto four metal skewers and set aside. For the salad, mix the onions and lemon juice in a bowl and set aside.
• To make the hummus, boil the broad beans in 300ml water for 5 mins, then scoop out of the pan, reserving the water. Tip the beans into a bowl with the rest of the ingredients, and blitz using a hand blender with up to 150ml of the cooking water until smooth.
• Heat the grill to high and cook the chicken skewers for 4-5 mins on each side, or until cooked through. Meanwhile, finish preparing the salad. Toss the tomatoes and sliced cucumber with the lemon-soaked onions. Serve halve the hummus with two skewers of chicken and half the salad. The remainder will keep in the fridge for up to two days.

PEA & BROAD BEAN HUMMUS WITH GOAT'S CHEESE & SOURDOUGH

Steps:

• Tip the peas and beans into a large pan of salted boiling water, then cook for 3 mins. Drain, cool under cold water, then drain again thoroughly.
• Put the 4 tbsp oil in a pan, heat gently, then add the garlic. Cook for 3 mins, very very gently, until the oil is infused and the garlic has softened but is not coloured. Tip the oil and garlic into a jug and cool.
• Whizz the peas, beans and almost all the zest in a food processor, then trickle in the garlicky oil. Add the garlic cloves, almost all the lemon juice and 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil. The hummus should be swirling around the bowl nicely by this point, but shouldn't be too fine in texture. Scrape the sides down if you need to. Season well - you'll need about 1 tsp sea salt and lots of black pepper. Add the rest of the lemon juice to taste. Spoon into a dish, swirl the top, then drizzle over the remaining extra virgin olive oil.
• To serve, toast the bread, then spread with the goat's cheese. Dollop a good spoonful of hummus onto each piece, drizzle with a little more olive oil, scatter with the remaining zest, then grind over a little black pepper. Top with a few pea shoots and serve.

CHICKEN & LEMON SKEWERS

Steps:

• Chop half the mint and put in a bowl with the yogurt, half the lemon juice, all the lemon zest, spices and ginger. Mix well and season with lots of black pepper and a pinch of salt. Add the chicken pieces, mix well and put in the fridge for 20-30 mins. Meanwhile, soak 4 large wooden skewers in water for at least 20 mins (or use metal ones).
• When you're ready to cook the chicken, heat your grill to a medium heat and line the grill tray with foil. Thread the chicken onto the soaked wooden or metal skewers and grill for 15-20 mins, turning halfway through, until browned and cooked through.
• Warm the flatbreads under the grill for a couple of seconds, then serve them topped with the lettuce, chicken, red onion, remaining lemon juice and mint, and any optional extras such as extra yogurt or pickled cabbage, chilli sauce and hummus.
