Persian Chicken

This dish comes from one of my favourite cuisines: Persian cuisine! It features tender chicken thigh fillet (Beter Leven 2 stars) marinated in pomegranate molasses and za'atar. Served with carrot hummus and a rich warm salad with roasted vegetables and freekeh. Freekeh is a young green wheat variety from the Middle East. It is harvested while still unripe and roasted on-site, giving this grain a smoky and nutty flavour. Definitely worth a try :)
