Nutty pearled spelt, topped with chicken, pickle and fresh veggies, herbs, and a tangy lime-mayo dressing come together in one tasty dish, in this Vie Sub riff.
Ingredients
1 cup pearled spelt
3 tbsp soy sauce, split
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite sized pieces
1/2 cup pickled carrot
1/2 cup cucumber
3 green onions, sliced
½ cup cilantro
¼ cup mint leaves
1 lime, zested and juiced
2 tbsp mayo
1 thai chili or jalapeno (optional
Sriracha (optional)
Instructions
- Bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add the pearled spelt, reduce to a simmer, and cover for 20 minutes. (If you cook rice, you already know how to cook pearled spelt)
- In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp of soy sauce, brown sugar, and olive oil. Add in your chicken and let marinate for 20 minutes.
- In a hot pan, heat some oil and add in your chicken mix, cooking until caramelized and slightly charred.
- For the dressing, mix the mayo, lime zest, and 1 tbsp of soy sauce. Then slowly add in lime juice as you mix until you reach the level lime of flavour you would like
- Combine cooked chicken, pearled spelt, and remaining fresh ingredients before drizzling with lime-mayo dressing.
