Instructions

Step 1

Melt the coconut oil in a wok or large frying pan over a medium to high heat. Chuck in the chorizo pieces and stir-fry for 1 minute. Roughly chop the coriander stalks and add to the pan along with the spring onions and chicken strips, then stir-fry the whole lot together for 2 minutes.

Step 2

Tip in the black beans and the chicken stock. Bring to the boil and simmer for 2 minutes, or until you are sure the chicken is fully cooked and the beans are warmed through. Check that the chicken is cooked by slicing into one of the larger pieces to make sure the meat is white all the way through, with no raw pink bits left.

Step 3

Serve up your dish sprinkled with the chopped coriander leaves and a squeeze of orange juice.
