Ingredients

  • 6 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp ground sumac
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp pepper
  • 1 medium cauliflower head, riced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 0.25 cup toasted pine nuts
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 0.25 cup golden raisins
  • 1 tbsp ghee or olive oil for cauliflower rice

Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

2

In a large bowl, mix 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tsp ground sumac, 1 tsp ground cumin, minced garlic, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp pepper.

3

Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and coat them well with the spice mixture. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.

4

Place the chicken thighs on a baking sheet, skin side up, and roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the skin is crispy and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 75°C or 165°F).

5

While the chicken is roasting, heat 1 tbsp ghee or olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

6

Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until it becomes tender, about 5-7 minutes.

7

Stir in the toasted pine nuts, golden raisins, and chopped parsley, and cook for another 2 minutes to combine flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

8

Serve the roasted chicken thighs over the cauliflower rice pilaf, garnishing with extra parsley if desired.
