"H" - Honduras - Arroz con Pollo

Arroz con Pollo recipe, Eat Well on Universal Credit

Around the World for £4 Or Less took us to “H” for Honduras yesterday evening.
 
This recipe was supposed to be sufficient for four. Actually you could easily serve six substantial portions. So you might want to reduce the ingredient quantities!
 
Ingredients:-
 
4 Chicken thighs
1 Cup of frozen Peas
1 cup of Basmati Rice
2 tbs Oil
2 Carrots, cut into batons
1/3 Leek, cut into chunks
1 tin Chopped Tomatoes
1 large Onion
5 cloves of Garlic, quartered
1 bunch of Parsley, chopped 
2 bullet Chillies, sliced
1 tbs Salt
½ tbs Black Pepper
1 tbs Curry powder
1 tbs Chilli powder
1 Bouquet Garni
1 small Red Bell Pepper, sliced
1 Lime cut into wedges
 
Method:-
 
(1) Add all the ingredients except the Rice, Bell Pepper and Peas to a large pan with water and bring to the boil.
(2) Simmer for 30 minutes.
(3) Remove the Chicken and allow to cool.
(4) Strain the stock from the other cooked ingredients and set aside.
(5) Cut the cooked Chicken from the bone into rough cubes.
(6) In a frying pan add the Oil and Rice and fry until the rice has taken on a little colour.
(7) Add the stock,  frozen Peas and Red Bell Pepper.
(8) Bring to the boil and then simmer and stir until the Rice is cooked and has absorbed most of the Stock.
(9) Add the vegetables and remove the Bouquet Garni.
(10) Simmer until heated through.
(11) Add the Chicken and stir until evenly heated.
 
Serve garnished with chopped Parsley, sliced Chillies and Lime wedges.

All Day Breakfast #4556

This looks like a plated representation of gluttony. But we only really eat one meal a day and sometimes we fancy something simple, i.e. not experimental! Although if you read on, quite a few of the items are our own creations…...

Working around the plate from 12 O'clock.

(1) Home made Gluten free (fried) Bread. This recipe had a typo and should have use warm water. So we ended up with quite a dense and flat loaf. But it held up well to frying, certainly better than the Mayo based version we usually bake.

(2) Tokneneng. A battered boiled Egg recipe from the Philippines we're very keen on.

(3) Bacon. We’ve not got around to curing our own Bacon yet, but it’s on the to-do list. When next we have a bit of spare cast I’ll order some Potassium Nitrate from a home curing website I know. (No I’m not ordering flours of Sulphur and Carbon Black, so no need to inform the Bomb Squad – The base ingredients for Gun Powder, for those who don’t know!)

(4) Hash Browns. The last stragglers in the freezer, so we cleared a bit of space!

(5) Baked Beans. Sadly these were from a tin. But again it’s not beyond the bounds of possibility that we will make our own at some stage….

(6) Yellow Sticker Pork & Bramley Apples sausages. Please don’t tempt me into buying a DIY Sausage extruder. That’s effectively how Sue and I met. When I worked in the Butchers one of my main functions was sausage making. I used to stop by at the pub where Sue was the Chef for a pint on my way home. Often covered in Pork mince!

(7) Fried Mushrooms. I’m pretty sure we’d get in trouble if we filled the spare room with well rotted Horse Manure. So growing enough Mushrooms at home to cover the amount we eat is probably a no-go…..

Out of shot we had DIY Tomato Ketchup and DIY Brown Sauce. Because we’re a bit sad like that!!!!

I've linked all the recipes we used. But the direct links are below, if you need them.
