Directions

1
Trim the leeks, slit them in half lengthwise and rinse well under running water to remove any sand or grit. Coarsely chop the leeks.
2
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a low to medium heat. Add the chicken, leeks, coriander, cumin, fennel seed, salt and cayenne pepper.
3
Cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes, until the chicken is browned and the leeks are soft.
4
Place the millet in a pot and add 350mls of water. Set the millet to medium high heat and when it starts boiling turn the heat down to low and cover the pot.
5
After 10-15 minutes all the water should be absorbed and the millet will be cooked.
6
Add the tomatoes with their liquid, the chickpeas, olives and lemon zest and bring to a boil.
7
Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes, until the tomato sauce is very thick.
8
Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice.
9
Serve immediately over cooked millet, rice or with wholewheat bread and garnish with the feta cheese.
