Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we've revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

Preheat the grill to high (240C)
Line a baking tray with silver foil
Pull out a small saucepan, 2 medium bowls, a small bowl & a measuring jug

Marinate the chicken

Soak the skewers in cold water
Finely chop or crush the garlic
In a medium bowl, combine the diced chicken with half the garlic, the half pack of Moroccan spice, the hot honey and a pinch of salt and pepper

Grill the chicken & prep the rest

Thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers, then place them onto the foil-lined baking tray. Drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil and grill for 16 mins, until cooked through
Meanwhile, thinly slice the shallot into rings. Halve the tomatoes and lemon. Pick the parsley leaves from the stalks and roughly chop
To the other medium bowl, add the shallot, the juice from half the lemon, half the sumac and a pinch of salt. Set aside to pickle

Make the tahini beans

Add the beans (and their liquid) to the small saucepan and heat on medium heat. Simmer for 3-4 mins, until warmed through. Reserve 40ml of the liquid (20ml for 1 person), then drain and return the beans to the pan
Put the tahini pot in the small bowl filled with hot water for 1 min to loosen
Empty and dry the bowl, then add the tahini, reserved bean liquid, remaining garlic, a squeeze of lemon juice (or to taste) and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until smooth, then stir through the beans and warm on medium heat for 1-2 mins

Finish the salad & plate up

Check your chicken is cooked through by cutting a large piece in half; the flesh should be white and the juices running clear
When everything is ready, toss the tomatoes and the parsley through the shallot with 1 tsp olive oil. Season to taste
Share the tahini beans between plates, topped with the chicken skewers. Serve the salad alongside and sprinkle everything with a pinch of the remaining sumac
