Kwadon Zogale (Moringa Salad)

• In a saucepan over medium heat, add water and salt, and bring to a boil.
• Add the washed Moringa leaves and allow them to boil for 2 minutes.
• Drain the excess water and set the leaves aside to cool.
• In a food processor, combine the kulikuli, powdered pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and salt. Pulse the ingredients until a smooth powdery consistency is achieved, or pulse to your desired texture if you prefer it crunchy.
• In a mixing bowl, place the boneless chicken and add 4 tablespoons of the kulikuli spice blend. Rub the seasoning onto the chicken until it is fully coated, then drizzle olive oil over the seasoned chicken.
• Transfer the chicken to an air fryer and roast for 25 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius. Remove the chicken and allow it to rest before slicing.
• In a mixing bowl, add couscous and saffron, then pour hot water directly over it. Set it aside for 5 minutes to swell.
• In a separate mixing bowl, add the cooked moringa leaves, sliced onions, cherry tomatoes, and kulikuli spice blend. Stir to distribute the ingredients evenly.
• In a serving bowl, dish out the couscous and moringa salad, and carefully place the chicken on the side. Your Kwadon Zogale is ready to be enjoyed!
