Method
Step 1

Boil a kettle. Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create two thin fillets. Place the harissa paste in a bowl with one tablespoon of oil and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Add the chicken to this bowl and coat in the harissa.

Step 2

Rinse the quinoa and add to a saucepan with 300ml of boiling water and a pinch of sea salt. Simmer for 15 mins, then drain.

Step 3

Cut the ends off the half cucumber. Using a peeler, slice the cucumber into long thin ribbons. Thinly slice the radishes. Peel and slice the orange into segments.

Step 4

Preheat a frying pan (or BBQ) on a medium heat and cook the chicken for five minutes each side until cooked through.

Step 5

Meanwhile, to make a turmeric sauce; dissolve the creamed coconut in 30ml of boiling water and mix in the ground turmeric, a generous pinch of the ground coriander and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Step 6

Place the mixed leaves on two plates and top with the quinoa, cucumber ribbons, orange segments, sliced radishes and harissa chicken fillets. Drizzle over the turmeric sauce.
