Well Ahmet, if you cook this for that "Chick" & she isn't impressed, I would be very,very surprised Mate.
Another late one, early morning
At my age, Stuff that, too Good to share except with Scott & David
This is an ABSOLUTELY Amazing Meal, & you would Happily pay Top $ for this in a Restaurant, but now you can cook it at Home yourself, & take all the Credit
Not a difficult Meal to Prepare & Cook, but not a Simple one either.
You certainly wouldn't teach a teenager to Cook for the first time with this recipe.
Cooking Time;
Prep; ~25 to 35 minutes
Cook; ~35 to 45 minutes.(1st attempt allow a little extra time)
Serves 4 to 6 (easily 2 meals for the 3 of us)
INGREDIENTS
Olive Oil
4 Boned Chicken thigh fillets, each cut into 4 pieces (or 2x Large Chicken Breast fillets, cut into large bite size pieces) ~850 grams for either.
1 Large Red Capsicum, chopped again into bite size pieces.
1 Tablespoon chopped Parsley
400 to 450 grams Marinara Mix (if unavailable substitute a jar or tin of marinara mix, or tin small prawns, mussels, calamari rings, scallops, etc to about the same combined weight)
2 cups Long Grain Rice
2 or 3 Cloves of Garlic, crushed & roughly chopped
1 medium/large Brown Onion, sliced top to base
1/2 teaspoon Ground Turmeric
4 cups of Chicken Stock
1 cup Frozen Peas
125 grams Salami, thinly sliced.
1 Lemon, cut into 6 wedges as a Garnish.
METHOD
1; Part A: Soak Rice in Cold water for about 10 minutes, drain, rinse under Cold running water & drain again.
1; Part B: Heat Olive Oil in a Large Heavy Base Pan/Pot & add the Chicken Pieces. Cook over Medium/High Heat until Golden Brown turning once. Remove from Pan & Drain on absorbent Paper Towel & set aside.
1; Part C: Add a little more Olive Oil to the Pan, add Capsicum, Parsley & Marinara Mix & stir fry for 1 or 2 minutes, over Medium/High Heat; remove & Set aside.
NOTE; Recipe said to do ALL of this in the same Pot/Pan.
I actually had the Rice started in the Heavy Based Pan/Pot while I did Part B & C in a Non-Stick Wok or Frying Pan at the same time. (Obviously just soak your Rice earlier to do this)
2; Heat extra Olive Oil in the Pan, add Garlic & Onion. Cook on Medium Heat for a few minutes until the Onion is translucent & starting to go Golden, DO NOT BURN !!! Add a little extra oil as required.
Add rice, stir well to make sure ALL Grains are well coated with olive oil.
Stir in Turmeric, then add the Chicken Stock, stir & cover with a tight fitting lid.
3; Bring Stock slowly to the Boil; stir once.
Reduce Heat, simmer covered for 8 to 10 minutes.
Place chicken on top of the rice, cover & cook over low heat for a further 10 minutes.
4; Add Capsicum & Marinara Mix, Peas & Salami. Stir well then cover & cook on Low Heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until almost all the liquid is absorbed.
5; Remove from Heat, stand, covered for about 5 minutes or until ALL the liquid is absorbed & the Rice is tender. Separate rice grains with a fork, just before serving on a large platter garnished with lemon wedges.
or
Simply serve in Bowls for individuals if Only two of you.
As I said, this is an Incredible Meal & once you Perfect it, you will do it over & over again.
Ahmet, Mate if this doesn't help you get into her pants after Dinner !!!
Something is seriously wrong with your Cooking Mate
ENJOY
Cheers Andrew
