A standard main course in homes across Spain... and Latin America for that matter. It is so popular because it is so tasty! There are many different versions, so this recipe is a basic version to start with.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 Small Chicken (or 10 pieces chicken), cut into small pieces*
  • 1 Ripe Tomato, diced
  • 1 Yellow Onion, chopped
  • 1 Red pepper, sliced into long strips
  • 2-3 cups Medium Grain Rice
  • 4 cups Chicken stock
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric (optional-for coloring)
  • 4-5 Tbsp Extra virgin Olive Oil

PREPARATION:

* Legs and thighs work well for this recipe because they are small and easy to stir.

Serves 4-6

In a large frying pan or skillet, saute tomato, onion and pepper in olive oil. When onion is translucent, add pieces of chicken and cook for 5-8 minutes.

Add rice to pan, stirring to coat all the grains with the oil. Add chicken broth and turmeric, if desired. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered until the rice is cooked – approximately 20 minutes.
