Directions
1

Prepare the marinade for the chicken by mixing 3 g of thyme, 13 g of fine salt, 3 g of ground black pepper, 80 g of peanut oil, 25 g of blanched garlic, the juice and zest of half a lemon, and 60 g of shallot. Cut the chicken breasts into strips 2 cm high and 6 cm long. Let marinate for 24 hours.

2

For the prune harissa, gather all the ingredients (except for the olive oil) in a food processor and blend. Gradually add the olive oil while continuing to blend until there are no more chunks. Strain the resulting mixture through a fine sieve or mesh strainer. Transfer and store in the refrigerator.

3

In a saucepan, bring 500 g of water to a boil with 30 g of blanched garlic, 10 g of salt, 1 g of paprika, 100 g of olive oil, 10 g of chicken stock powder, and 2 g of chopped thyme. Then, pour in 200 g of corn bulgur and bring to a boil again. Bake at 180°C for 11 minutes, stirring at least twice during cooking. Once the bulgur is cooked, remove it, cover with film, and let it cool in the refrigerator.

4

To prepare the skewers, open the prunes in half, insert a whole almond and a strip of candied lemon. Wrap the stuffed prunes in strips of chicken, and secure everything with a small skewer. Grill the skewers in a grill pan for 1.30 minutes on each side.

5

In a mixing bowl, combine the previously cooked bulgur with 8 g of chopped flat-leaf parsley, 4 g of chopped coriander, 30 g of diced prunes, 3 g of chopped candied lemon, and 8 g of fresh lemon juice.

6

Arrange the dish by placing the marinated chicken skewers on a bed of bulgur. Accompany the tasting with prune harissa.
