Spatchcocked roast chicken, cous cous and Mexican corn Spatchcocked roast chicken, cous cous and Mexican corn
As Beyoncé Etta James once sang, At Last. At long last, I can use the word spatchcock.Spatchcocking the chicken cuts down on the cooking time, and offers linguistic joy! An old friend of mine used to make compilations of ska punk cover versions, called Spatchcock (vol.1, 2 etc.). I hope that this meal lives up to the genius that is I Fell Asleep on My Arm by the Aquabats.The chicken is simple but full of flavour. Using the pan juices to cook the cous cous adds all the colour and flavour you could hope for. The simplicity if these parts allows you to have some fun with corn on the cob, rather than just contenting yourself with slathering butter on it.I first had corn like this from Eat Drink Love Taco in St Kilda, Australia. On the off chance you’re near there, please get a steak and chorizo burrito and tell me how it was. If I could get it shipped 10000 miles to me, I would. Tex Mex heaven.

Fry thinly sliced white onion in olive oil. Add your beef strips and cook till brown on medium heat. In the meantime prepare your peanut sauce. Combine your peanut butter with water, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, pepper. Mix with hand blender. Add chopped chives at the end. Pour half of the sauce over the beef strips. Sauce will thicken up. Then pour over your other half of the sauce and switch the stove off. Add your cashew nuts and serve with cous cous.
