Piri Piri Fillets With Homemade Slaw Recipes

Steps:

• Chop the chicken into 2cm cubes and toss in the piri-piri sauce. Heat the grill to high, push the chicken onto four skewers and grill on all sides for 10-12 mins in total or until cooked through and a little charred. Meanwhile, warm the pittas in a toaster.
• Slice the pittas in half, stuff with the coleslaw, then slide the chicken from the skewers and add to the pittas.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cut the sweet potatoes into wedges, tip onto a baking tray, drizzle with oil and season well. Toss the wedges until well coated in oil, then bake for 30 mins, turning halfway through cooking, until crisp and golden.
• Meanwhile, shred the carrots, onion and cabbage using the slicing blade on a food processor (or grate the carrot and finely slice the onion and cabbage). Add the chopped coriander, 150ml yogurt, the lime juice and zest, and some seasoning. Toss together, then set aside. Mix the remaining yogurt in a bowl with 2 tbsp piri-piri sauce.
• Heat a griddle pan. Slice the halloumi and put in a bowl with the remaining piri-piri. Toss gently to coat, without breaking up the cheese. Cook in the pan for a few mins each side. Meanwhile, warm the wraps in a microwave. To serve, pile the slaw and halloumi into wraps, dollop with the yogurt sauce and scatter with coriander. Serve with the wedges.

Steps:

• To make the marinade, tip the dried chillies and the vinegar into a pan and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and leave the chillies to soak until the vinegar is cold. Put the red chillies, garlic, soaked dried chillies and vinegar in a food processor and blitz. Add the smoked paprika, oregano, thyme, sugar, a pinch of salt and the lemon juice. Blitz again to a paste and set aside.
• Sit the chicken in a shallow dish and use a small knife to score all over with cuts 1cm deep. Make sure you do the legs and the underside. Tip the marinade over the chicken and massage into the cuts. Cover and chill for at least 4 hrs, but overnight would be better.
• When you're ready to cook, heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Roast the chicken for 1 hr, then turn the heat up to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and cook for a further 30-35 mins until a crust has formed on the outside of the chicken.
• Remove from the oven and leave to rest for 30 mins. Serve with homemade wedges or jacket potatoes, coleslaw, some buttered corn cobs and chilli & mint peas.
