Braaied sumac chicken

Serves 8

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 30 minutes

Cooking Time 1 hour

Ingredients

2 free-range spatchcock chickens
1⁄4 cup olive oil
2 T sumac
4 t ras el hanout
2 t ground coriander
2 t ground cumin
Salt, to taste
8 onions, peeled
100 g butter
1⁄4 cup lemon juice
100 g pine nuts, toasted
3⁄4 cup pomegranate molasses
30 g fresh coriander, for serving
Pomegranate rubies, for serving

Method

Rub the chickens with oil, sumac, ras el hanout, coriander and cumin, and salt to taste. Place on a braai grid over medium coals. Cook for 1 hour, turning a few times.

Wrap the onions in foil and place among the coals. Cook for 30–45 minutes, or until charred and caramelised.

Gently heat the butter in a pan until golden brown. Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice and pine nuts.

Pour over the chicken with the molasses and serve with the roasted onions, coriander, yoghurt and pomegranate rubies.

Cook's note: If you are a sucker for Mediterranean flavours (pomegranate, sumac, ras el hanout), braai a pair of chickens – spatchcocked for an extra-juicy result.
