Time 2h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

¼ cup vegetable oil
1 (4 to 6 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cloves garlic
1 (14.5 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
1 cup rice
2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 bay leaf
2 cups chicken stock, or as needed to cover
1 cup green peas
½ cup sliced black olives
½ cup raisins
¼ cup chopped pimento peppers

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat; cook and stir chicken pieces until browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon and place on a plate. Cook and stir onion, green bell pepper, minced garlic, and whole garlic cloves in the same Dutch oven until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Return chicken to the onion mixture. Add tomatoes, rice, salt, oregano, black pepper, and bay leaf. Pour in enough chicken stock to cover all the ingredients.
  • Bake chicken-rice mixture in the preheated oven until rice is tender and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Stir peas, olives, raisins, and pimento peppers into the chicken-rice mixture. Bake until warmed through, an additional 15 minutes.

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried cumin
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
One 3 1/2-to-4-pound chicken, cut into 8 serving pieces and skin removed
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small yellow onion, finely diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cups long-grain rice
2 cloves garlic, finely diced
1 1/2 cups low-salt chicken stock
1/2 cup tomato sauce

Steps:

  • Combine the salt, garlic powder, cumin, black pepper and cayenne in a plastic gallon bag. Shake until the mixture is well combined.
  • Pat the chicken dry and place in the bag with the spice mixture. Shake the bag, making sure the chicken is well coated.
  • Heat the oil in a 12-inch high-sided skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken and brown on all sides, about 6 minutes each side. Transfer the chicken to a plate, using tongs.
  • Add the onions, green peppers, red peppers and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the skillet. Cook the vegetables over moderate heat, stirring, until softened and fragrant, about 7 minutes. Add the rice and garlic and cook until the rice begins to turn gold in color and fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Meanwhile, combine the stock, tomato sauce and remaining teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Add 1 1/4 cups water and the stock mixture to the skillet and stir to make sure the rice is covered in liquid. Nestle the chicken in the rice, adding any juices from the plate. Bring the rice to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover. Cook until the chicken is cooked through, the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 35 minutes. Let the skillet stand covered, about 10 minutes before serving.

Categories     main-dish

Number Of Ingredients 21

1/2 cup olive oil
10 cloves garlic, minced
2 green peppers, diced
3 tablespoons Achiote seeds
1 or 2 whole chickens cut into parts or 5 boneless chicken breasts cut into chunks
1 red pepper, diced
1 yellow pepper, diced
2 brown onions, diced
1 jar capers
3 cups long grain rice
1/2 bunch cilantro leaves, cut up
6 basil leaves cut into strips

1 jar green olives (pimento stuffed)
3 bay leaves
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 can baby peas
Garnishes: pimentos and fresh asparagus
4 plantains
1/2 cup peanut oil
Salt

Steps:

  • Place 1/2 cup of olive oil in small pan and add the achiote. Heat on medium heat until bubbles form, then remove from heat and let steep. Drain achiote seeds from oil (should be a vibrant reddish-orange color). Place oil in large stockpot. Heat oil on high and place chicken pieces in pot and brown - this is done just to brown chicken NOT to cook it. Remove chicken from pot Place diced onions, garlic, and peppers in pot with the achiote. Saute until soft (do not burn garlic). Put capers in pot and cook for a while with the onion mixture. Add rice to the pot with garlic, peppers, garlic and capers, then swirl rice into the mixture. Let the rice cook for just about a minute. Place cut up cilantro and basil in pot. Add in chicken broth and make sure you scrape the pot. Add chicken pieces back in. Put olives in and mix. Place bay leaves in pot. Check for seasonings (Please note: add salt and pepper at the end). Let the mixture cook on medium heat until the rice is done. Add peas just before serving.
  • In another medium pot place peeled asparagus in water and boil until they turn bright green. Place in ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  • To serve, place rice and chicken in a large platter. Arrange chicken pieces around platter and rice in the center. Place cooked asparagus around the platter and then place pimentos in the center.
  • Serve with tostones (recipe follows).
  • Peel plantains and cut at an angle. Place in cold water with salt. In a large frying pan put in 1/2 cup oil (preferably peanut oil ). Place plantains in pan and cook until somewhat soft (they will turn a lovely pale yellow color). Take them out of the pan and smash each one between 2 pieces of foil (folded 2 or 3 times to make a thick pad - place 2 paper towels on top of foil so that you don't burn yourself). Return to frying pan (you may have to add more oil). Fry until crisp and then season with salt. Serve with rice and chicken - or just about anything!

ARROZ CON POLLO A LA TICA



Arroz Con Pollo a La Tica image

One of the most typical dishes in Costa Rica is Arroz Con (fill in the blank). It can be chicken, beef, pork, or shrimp. But most commonly it is made with chicken, because its affordable and many folks grow chickens in their backyards! This is my take on Arroz con Pollo - or Chicken with Rice. My housekeeper has shared her lunch with me on many an occasion, and it is always wonderful. Last week, I finally asked her how to make it and she rattled off directions. I don't know if I captured everything or not, but we think it tastes pretty good for a first try. This recipe includes a sauce called Lizano. I'm told it can be found in the hispanic section of some grocery stores in the States, or from specialty online retailers. I don't know because I never knew this sauce until we moved to Costa Rica. If I find a subsitution or a source, I'll edit this recipe to include the information. Update: Couldn't find a source, but the closest you may come is Worcestershire sauce. Just go easy on it, as Lizano is not as strong tasting as Worcestershire. Enjoy!

Time 35m

Yield 8 cups, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 medium carrot, small dice
1/2 cup green beans, cut in 1/2 inch pieces
1 small onion, small dice
1/2 red pepper, small dice
5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
6 cups cooked white rice, cold
5 tablespoons Lizano sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon achiote powder
salt & pepper
1/2 cup cilantro, finely chopped
1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Cook carrot and green beans in salted water until tender, drain and set aside.
  • In a wok-type pan, saute onion and red pepper in 2 tbsp olive oil until pepper is tender and onion is translucent. Set aside in small bowl.
  • Heat remaining 3 tbsp oil in the wok until hot, then add the cooked rice, stir-frying for several minutes.
  • Add the onion/pepper mixture and mix well to incorporate.
  • Add the Lizano sauce, soy sauce and achiote powder. Mix well to incorporate.
  • Add chicken and mix well to incorporate.

ARROZ CON POLLO VERDE



Arroz con Pollo Verde image

Peruvian arroz con pollo stands apart from other versions of chicken and rice across Latin America thanks to the addition of a bright green cilantro purée and aji amarillo, a fruity yellow hot pepper that's similar in flavor to habaneros or scotch bonnets. Traditionally, the dish contains choclo, very large and chewy Peruvian corn kernels with earthy flavor. Cooked canned hominy makes a great substitute that offers a similar taste and texture. This one-pot homestyle dish is commonly served with salsa criolla, a tangy and spicy red onion relish, but a Louisiana-style hot sauce is a good alternative.

Categories     grains and rice, poultry, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups cilantro leaves and tender stems
3 tablespoons neutral oil, such as safflower or canola oil
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, each thigh halved lengthwise
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 cup finely chopped yellow onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cups basmati rice
1 (15-ounce) can hominy, rinsed and drained
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons jarred ají amarillo paste
1 large red bell pepper, cored, seeded and thinly sliced
1/2 cup thawed frozen peas
Salsa criolla or hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • In a blender, combine cilantro and 6 tablespoons of water, and purée until smooth. Set aside.
  • In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add half the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook, turning halfway, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate, and repeat with remaining chicken.
  • Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the onion to the empty pot, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and cumin until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add rice and hominy, season with salt and pepper, and stir until well combined, 30 seconds. Add broth, aji amarillo paste, bell pepper and reserved cilantro purée, scraping the bottom of the pot to remove any browned bits.
  • Nestle the chicken with any accumulated juices into the pot, and bring to a boil over high. Cover, reduce heat to low and cook until rice is tender and all of the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with peas, then cover and steam for 3 minutes. Turn off heat, and fluff rice with a fork. Divide arroz con pollo in bowls and serve with salsa criolla or hot sauce.
