Prep:

- Rinse baby spinach.
- Rinse and cut cauliflower into 2cm pieces.
Method:
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over a medium to high heat. Add onion, garlic, sweet potato and cauliflower. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 4 to 6 minutes, or until onion is soft.
- In a bowl, combine the mixed salad, tomatoes and parsley. Drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and toss to combine.
- Cut lemon into wedges.
- Arrange the grilled zaatar chicken and roasted potatoes on each plate. Serve with a side of mixed salad and lemon wedges.
- In a bowl, mix half of the zaatar seasoning, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts. Set aside to marinate while preparing the potatoes.
- Preheat the oven to 200°c (180°c fan-forced).
- On a baking tray, toss the boiled potatoes with olive oil, remaining zaatar seasoning, salt, and pepper. Roast for 15-20 minutes or until golden and crispy.
- Place potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 8-10 minutes or until just tender. Drain and allow to dry slightly.
- Add rice and spices. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Using ratio 1. 5 water to 1 rice, add water and season well with salt and pepper. Bring to boil. Cover pan with lid.
- Serve pilaf sprinkled with almonds.
- Simmer over a low heat for about 14 minutes. Check that the rice is tender. Stand, covered, for 5 minutes, gently separate grains with a fork and stir through spinach until wilted.
- Wash and chop parsley.
- Heat an oiled, grill pan over medium-high heat and grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked, with a golden, charred finish.
