Carla Makes One-Pot Chicken and Crispy Rice

Рет қаралды 185,767

Күн бұрын

There are many examples of this dish (arroz con pollo, notably), which is seductive because of its promise: perfectly
cooked rice and chicken, harmoniously together in one pot. The truth is, though, that sometimes the rice is mushy
and the chicken is dry, and sometimes the rice is crunchy and the chicken is . . . still dry. The ratio of rice to water is
as important as the heat level and vessel you use; nail those variables and you’re on your way to a brag-worthy dish.
My take is infused with ginger and cilantro and topped with a dead-simple avocado sauce that you can throw together while the chicken is cooking. I cook everything in a 6-quart Dutch oven because it can hold the chicken snugly in a single layer.
This recipe is from my book, That Sounds So Good!

Dearest Carla, I am writing to thank you for this gift of a recipe. I added roasted red peppers and cherry toms to the rice mixture, olive oil and garlic to the sauce, scallions and extra cilantro. This was so delicious and after quite a rough few weeks brought me so much joy. This does deliver in so many ways and creeping into fall, it makes for a great weeknight meditative meal of brightness.

Hmm. I have all the ingredients except the cilantro, but I have a bumper crop of sorrel so I'm going to make the green sauce with the sorrel for a lemony flavor. Maybe a little basil, also a bumper crop. But that technique, oh yeah. Hating on the word moist is so 2000, kind of like hating on Nickelback, which has been proven to just be a meme and Nickelback was a great band.

I "spinned it", as the cookbook calls it, with chicken stock and garlic in the rice and wow, that was delicious. Making that sauce in my low-end blender was a nightmare though. Way too thick to get a vortex going. Next time, I'm just making guac or having avocado slices.

Miss Carla! Question! (But first let me say: Love you, my friend. Grateful you were born. You give so much joy to us). But ok: question for you (a dumb one - apologies): for those of us who weren't born with the Cilantro gene... what herb or aromatic would you personally choose as a good option? (I feel like parsley often imparts a type of - to me - almost bitter-ish grassiness, which can have it's place... but is that place here? What else would work nicely w/ the gingery rice?
