Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • half a red pepper and half a green pepper chopped

For the black bean sauce

  • 2 tbsp of organic black beans soaked in water
  • 1 tbsp of garlic-infused olive oil and a little extra for frying
  • 1 tsp black treacle
  • 3 tbsp gluten free soy sauce
  • 1 tsp rice wine vinegar
  • 250 ml of water
  • 1 tbsp of cornflour mixed with 2 tbsp of water

Instructions

  • Finely slice your chicken breast and chop your red/green pepper into chunks.
  • Before you start this recipe, it's ideal to have your chicken already cooked. So you can either fry it in garlic-infused olive oil until cooked or as Mark often does, he poaches it in water. Either way, make sure it's cooked and set it aside until later.
  • Start by frying your red/green pepper chunks in a wok with 1 tbsp of garlic oil until slightly softened.
  • While that's frying, take 2 tbsp of your black beans in water, place into a bowl and drain away as much water as possible. Mash the beans until nice and squashed, then add 1 tbsp of garlic oil (or garlic purée if you can eat it - we can't!)
  • Add your mashed bean paste mixture to the wok and stir constantly until the pepper is well covered. It can burn onto the pan at this point, so make sure you keep stirring and stop it from sticking to the pan if needed! Lowering the heat can help with this.
  • Add your 250ml of water and gluten free soy sauce. Bring to the boil and allow to simmer for 10 minutes. Half way through simmering, add your cooked chicken.
  • Then add in your cornflour mixture to thicken it up into a sauce. Finally, add your black treacle and rice wine vinegar. When it's a nice, thick sauce consistency, it's done!
  • Serve up with rice and enjoy.
