Cooking Instructions:
  • BEFORE COOKING:

    Boil the kettle.

  • 1. TO COOK THE MEXICAN SPICED BULGUR:

    Place the Mexican spiced bulgur in a pot with 4 cups of boiling water from the kettle, place the pot over a high heat and bring up to the boil. Once boiling reduce heat to low and cook for 8-10 mins until bulgur is cooked. Drain well into a sieve. Place into a salad bowl and fold through the baby spinach just before serving.

  • 2. TO PREPARE THE TOMATO SALSA:

    Slice the roasted capsicum into 1 cm cubes. Spray a non-stick frying pan with oil and place over a medium-high heat. Once hot add the capsicum, corn and season with salt. Cook for 4-5 mins stirring occasionally to create a char. Chop the tomatoes into 1 cm cubes and place in a bowl with the vegetables from the pan. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.

  • 3. TO COOK THE TOMATILLO CHICKEN:

    Remove the free-range chicken breasts from their packaging and pat dry with a paper towel. Slice the chicken breasts into 1 cm strips. Place the pan back over a medium-high heat and drizzle with oil. Once hot add the chicken strips, season with salt and cook for 3-4 mins until cooked through. Pour in the tomatillo mole and cook for 30-60 secs.
