Ingredients
- 100g quick cook Italian spelt
- 250g Essential Beetroot Salad
- 2 tbsp Cooks’ Ingredients Walnut Oil, plus 1 tsp
- 1 Essential Little Gem Lettuce, cut into eight wedges
- 380g pack 2 Essential British Chicken Breast Fillets
- 40g walnuts, toasted and chopped
- ½ x 20g pack tarragon, leaves only, finely chopped
- ½ tbsp Essential White Wine or Cider Vinegar
- 1 clove/s garlic, crushed
Method
Cook the spelt according to pack instructions, then drain well, return to the saucepan and mix with the beetroot salad. Meanwhile, heat 1 tsp walnut oil in a large nonstick frying pan. Add the little gem and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly charred, then transfer to a plate and set aside.
Put the chicken breasts between 2 sheets of baking parchment and use a rolling pin to flatten the fillets to a thickness of about 1cm. Season. Heat 1 tbsp walnut oil in the pan used to char the lettuce and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked with no pink meat and the juices run clear. Set aside on a plate to rest, then slice.
While the chicken rests, put the walnuts, tarragon, vinegar, garlic and remaining 1 tbsp oil in a bowl. Season, then mix to combine. Divide the spelt between plates, top with the little gem, chicken and walnut salsa and serve.
Cook’s tip
To toast the walnuts, add them to a hot, dry frying pan and cook, tossing regularly, until slightly golden and fragrant.
