Method

Step 1

Add oil to a large pan.

Step 2

Add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly brown all over.

Step 3

Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes, then add the tomatoes, puree, paprika and chilli. Bring to a gentle boil then turn down the heat, add a lid and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring regularly. Remove the lid, stir well and gently simmer until almost all the liquid has evaporated and is thoroughly coating the chicken.

Step 4

Arrange the lettuce around the side of a serving dish, pile the chicken cubes into the middle with cocktail sticks to skewer the chicken cubes.

Recipe tips

Simmer the dish gently at the end as the aim is not to create a sauce, but a rich coating for the chicken.
You could make this with pork or firm fish rather than chicken. For a vegetarian version, try with tofu.
