Cooking steps

Make the Mash
1
  • Boil a large pot of salted water.
  • Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peeling optional).
  • Add the potatoes to the boiling water and cook until fork-tender, 12-18 mins. 
  • Meanwhile, trim the leek and halve lengthways. Thinly slice widthways. Place a pan over medium heat with a knob of butter and a drizzle of oil. Cook the leek until softened, 6-8 mins.
  • Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and return to the pot, off the heat. Add a knob of butter and some milk or water. Mash until smooth then stir in the cooked leeks. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.

  • Meanwhile, roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all). Once the mash is ready, stir through the parsley.
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • Zest then juice the lemon.
  • Trim the green beans.
Cook the Green Beans
3
  • Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once hot, fry the green beans until starting to char, 2-3 mins.
  • Stir in the garlic, lower the heat to medium and cook for 1 min.
  • Add a splash of water and cover with a lid or some foil. Cook until tender, 4-5 mins.
  • Once cooked, remove from the pan and cover to keep warm.
Fry the Chicken
4
  • Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Slice through the chicken breasts to make thin steaks then season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
  • Once hot, lay the chicken into the pan and fry, 3-6  mins on each side.
Baste in Harissa Butter
5
  • Add 2 tbsp butter (per 2P), harissa paste, lemon zest, and half the lemon juice to the pan.
Finish and Serve
6
  • Divide the leek and mash between plates.
  • Top with the green beans and chicken.
  • Finish with a drizzle of any harissa butter remaining in the pan.
