  • 1½ cups (150g) oats 
  • 4 cups (1L) chicken or vegetable stock 
  • Glug olive oil 
  • 1 onion, chopped

  3. Heat oil over medium heat and sauté onion until soft (8-10 minutes). 
  4. Stir in ginger and garlic and fry for another minute until fragrant. 
  5. Tip in cooked oats (loosen with a few tablespoons of water if needed). 
  6. Add lime juice and zest, and season. 
  7. Serve oats topped with eggs, bagel seasoning, spring onion, chilli oil and a dash of soy sauce. 

 

COOK’S NOTE:

Jamaican jerk chicken

“Jerk” refers to both the authentic style of cooking native to Jamaica and a hot and spicy dry rub or wet marinade used to make this style of meat.

Cider-can chicken with lime and cumin

Cooking chicken on a can delivers the most succulent chicken as it essentially steams and roasts at the same time. You’ll need a large kettle braai, or you can try this method of cooking in the oven.
