Cinnamon chicken skewers with orange and feta - Grilled chicken skewers with warm flavours of cinnamon and ginger on a bed of fluffy bulgur, tossed with orange and sautéed vegetables.
1 Place bulgur in a saucepan with plenty of water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Drain and rinse.
2. Toast almonds in a dry pan until golden. Remove to a large mixing bowl with bulgur. Reserve pan.
3. Add 1 tbsp oil to pan over medium heat. Slice spring onions and beans, dice capsicums and add to pan as you go. Cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes, or until just tender. Remove to bowl with nuts and bulgur.
4. Zest and juice the orange. Whisk with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp vinegar, 1 tsp ground ginger. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Cut chicken into 4cm pieces. Coat with 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp ground ginger, 1 tbsp oil, salt and pepper. Thread onto 8 skewers and cook in pan over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
6. Crumble feta and toss through bulgur with half the dressing. Serve with chicken skewers and garnish with chopped parsley. Spoon over remaining dressing to taste.
