Directions
-
Soup 1 ts Cilantro 1 ts Ground Correander Seed (only -if you don't use Cilantro!) 1 tb Oregano 1/4 sm Onion chopped 1 Clove garlic minced 1/4 c Cooking wine (bitter orange -or other fruit is best) 1 ts Ground White pepper 1 tb Crushed Red pepper (subst.
-
Cayenne) 1 ts Sweet Basil (optional, I -like it) 1/4 Lemon with rind on 1 c Rice uncooked (I don't use -pre-cooked type, but either -works) Choose your large cast iron pot (my usual) or in my case now with no stove, a West Bend electric
-
fry pan.
-
Set to simmer and add chicken soup.
-
(I use egg drop by the way, but that's another step) While broth is warming,
-
wash chicken as you usually do.
-
Add all seasonings except the peppers.
-
Squeeze the lemon for it's juice and toss it in without the seeds.
-
When you can see that the broth is just starting to
-
boil every time the light goes out, you know it's just right, below boiling temp.
-
You don't want this to
-
boil unless you are in a hurry, want to do lots of pot watching or you like tough chicken.
-
No need to add salt or sugar since there is usually more than enough already in the soup.
-
The chicken should not be covered in liquid, this is not intended to be soup when you get done.
-
When you have the temp.
-
fine tuned to true simmer, place the poultry parts in the broth, meaty side up as possible.
-
Sprinkle on the white and red pepper,
-
cover the pot and ignore it for as long as you wish the longer the better, I usually shoot for at least 4 hours.
-
Before serving at least 20 min.
-
before you want to eat, flip the meat and add the rice.
-
Check to make sure there is enough water, bring up to original level if necessary.
-
This should turn out fairly thick, and not soup because the rice absorbs most or all of the liquid.
-
Stir it in well and cover again.
-
When the rice is done it's finished.
-
Spoon out rice onto plates and place poultry on the side of it.
-
I like to
-
serve this with a large tossed salad, using Olive Oil, 1 T lemon juice, 2T Oregano, and 1 clove garlic, or garlic powder.
-
(See Porro's Italian Salad for details) I use Cajun seasoning, but wanted this to have a more general appeal, if you like it hotter, go for it.
-
Sort of a Cajun/Italian recipe.
-
Some other notes and options.
-
t of parsley won't hurt.
-
Also optional: (it's not cast in stone, add what you like) fresh sliced mushrooms.
-
I confess, I never measure any of the above, it's all done by taste, do the same please!
-
Anytime you use fresh spices it will taste better.
-
Why I make and eat this.
-
For sporting events, one never knows for certain when it will be time to eat.
-
Also if you have company that shows up late on a regular basis, this type of cooking and be on hold for extended periods of time, without harm.
-
No stove.
-
The slow cooking will make even a laying hen edible.
-
For a whomped up one pot, one plate dinner it actually has some taste to it.
-
Sometimes I want something that is easy and doesn't need tending, this is it.
-
Probably best for family cooking rather than guests.
-
When I was cooking for three teens I never knew if any two would every be at home for dinner at the same time.
-
It keeps well for hours after adding the rice
