I don't remember whether I actively looked for this recipe or simply happened to find it: a new variation on chicken and rice. The recipe that I have is in Hebrew, so I won't bother with the link.
- Brown the chicken pieces (I used 10 drumsticks) with olive oil in a pan for about 8 minutes. I have my doubts about the need for this stage, as browning drumsticks is not the same as browning cubes of beef, because of the shape.
- Move the chicken pieces to a side dish, then fry a large diced onion in the pan using the same oil.
- When the onion is nearly done, add two chopped tomatoes and optional spices. I used paprika, cumin and oregano, but I think that I'll skip this next time. I also added frozen green runner beans to the pan. I think that I intended to add parsley, but I forgot.
- After a few minutes of cooking the vegetables, return the chicken to the pan.
- Add two cups of chicken broth (I used chicken soup powder dissolved in water) and cook until boiling.
- Add one cup of rice (I used basmati) and two cups of water. This seems to be too much water, because of the two cups in the previous stage; I think that a total of three cups would probably be sufficient.
- Cover the pan and continue cooking in an oven at 170°C for 40 minutes.
After placing the pan in the oven, I took the dog for a walk then had a brief cold shower. By the time I had finished, the cooking time was up. The result: a bit soggy (due to the extra water) and possibly a bit too greasy (the olive oil) but otherwise very tasty.
I won't post a picture of what I cooked because it looks a bit like something the dog brings up, but it's much better than it looks! The picture on the left is from the original article: here, chicken thighs have been used as opposed to drumsticks. Also the rice looks somewhat different.
