Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 24

2 cups rice (long grained or medium variety)
1/4 cup groundnut oil or 1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon dried thyme, if using fresh 2 tbsp would be perfect
1/4 teaspoon curry powder (optional)
1 onion, sliced
1 celery, diced
1 green pepper, diced (remove the seeds & white stuff)
2 -3 garlic cloves (as per taste)
1 cup chicken breast, diced not cooked preferably, omit if vegan
1/2 inch piece ginger, peeled and grated
1 tablespoon ground paprika (smoked would be ideal)
2 tablespoons cayenne, add more if you want it hotter
3 tablespoons tomato paste, I love using hunts
2 large tomatoes, chopped finely (or 1 small can pureed tomatoes)
1 carrot, cubed
1 chicken bouillon cube (I love knorr chicken or maggi)
1 bay leaf
2 cups chicken stock
2 cups water
1/2 cup portebello mushroom (optional)
peas (You can use frozen mixed veggeis)
salt
1/4 cup cilantro (to garnish) or 1/4 cup parsley (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Method.
  • Add oil and butter in a heat resistance pot, then add the chicken breast, paprika, cayenne, onion, celery, green pepper, garlic and ginger. Saute for about 3 minutes.
  • Add the chopped carrots next and saute for a minute with little salt.
  • Add the tomato paste, tomatoes along with curry powder, bay leaf & thyme. Cook until tomatoes get slightly soft. For about 3 minutes until you see the oil getting red. Then add frozen veggies. . Add the rice next. Saute for another 2 minutes or so.
  • Add 3 cups of vegetable stock/water, bouillon cube, required salt,close the lid and cook until 90% cooked, for about 30 minutes.
  • Allow the rice to continue cooking until the rice is soft. If it is not dry at this point, then switch the heat to low to allow it to dry the excess water without making the rice much softer.
  • If rice is still lil hard, add 1/4 cup water and cover with foil, which will allow it to steam through. Check back at 5 min and It should be ready. You want your rice not too soft.
  • Garnish with cilantro/parsely and serve.

  • In a large dutch oven or stockpot, heat oil over medium heat. Puree onion in a blender until smooth, and add to heated oil. Let simmer to reduce down and release all the liquid. I like to add a pinch of the salt here, to continue layering in the flavor. It will cook for about 8-10 minutes total until "paste-like". Stir occasionally, some browning is ok!
  • Meanwhile, in the blender, add the garlic, chilis, ginger, diced tomatoes, and tomato paste; then puree until smooth. Once the onion puree has cooked down, add the tomato mixture along with the remaining dry spices (salt, thyme, curry powder, black pepper) to the stockpot. Stir to combine and continue to let cook down over medium-low for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's thick and deep red in color.
  • While the sauce cooks down, rinse the rice well until the water runs clear. Once the sauce is ready per step 2, add the rice and stir to coat with the tomato mixture.
  • Pour in the water or stock, stir to combine. Cover and let slowly simmer for 30-40 minutes until rice is cooked through. You'll want to stir it 1-2 times during the cooking process, but not too much so the rice continues to steam.
