Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic (- minced)
1 medium onion (- chopped)
5-6 pieces chicken wings (- cut into wingettes and drumettes)
2 tablespoons fish sauce ((optional))
2 cups glutinous or sticky rice (- washed)
1 tablespoon Turmeric powder
1 cup carrots (- sliced into strips)
1 cup bell pepper (- sliced into strips)
2 pieces bay leaf
salt and pepper
1 cup green peas
1/2 cup raisins
1 can coconut milk ( (13.5 fl oz.))
1-2 cups water
2 eggs (- hard-boiled and sliced)
cooked shrimp
bell pepper
raisins

Steps:

  • In a deep pan and on medium heat, sauté onion and garlic in oil until soft. Add chicken wings and let for some minutes until the meat is almost cooked, about 3 minutes. If using fish sauce add it now.
  • Add the rice and turmeric powder. Cook for 1 minute while continuously mixing to make sure not to burn the rice.
  • Stir in the carrots, bell pepper, and bay leaf, then season with salt and pepper as desired, mix well.
  • Add green peas and raisins and mix until well distributed. Pour in coconut milk and 1 cup of water. Cover and let cook for about 20-30 minutes or until sticky rice is done. Stir from time to time and check if you need to add more water if rice is not yet cooked. Water should be absorbed entirely once done.
  • Turn off the heat and remove the bay leaves and give it a final stir.
  • Transfer into a llanera and fill to the rim. Turn the contents of llanera over into a plate to serve. If you want to make it more festive, add some slices of hard-boiled eggs, cooked shrimp, slices of bell peppers, and pieces of raisins and green peas at the bottom of the llanera before adding the rice.

ARROZ VALENCIANA



Arroz Valenciana image

This Filipino adaptation of Spanish paella is a staple at holidays and family get-togethers with my mom's family and it's certainly easy enough to prepare for a hearty dinner any day of the week. The countless variations on what's mixed in depend on where in the Philippines you're from. Some people include shellfish, chorizo, chicken livers or pork but this version is how my family always prepares it -- simple, vibrant and comforting.

VALENCIAN RICE (ARROZ A LA VALENCIANA)



Valencian Rice (Arroz a La Valenciana) image

Paella originated in the provinces of Spain. An international dish nowadays with as many variations as countries that have embraced it, the different versions of Paella became better known in Latin America as Arroz a la Valenciana (Valencian Rice) and adapted to the agriculture and foodstuff available in the particular country. Nicaragua is quite famous for its love of Arroz a la Valenciana. Whatever you call it, it is delicious and can be very complicated. Most people agree that the traditional Paella must contain rabbit meat. However, if you have ever tried to debone a rabbit you will see why that tradition is not a popular one. So, here for your enjoyment, is a very simple way to make Arroz a la Valenciana. May the Paella gods forgive me.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 (3 lb) whole chickens
1 lb white rice (cooked)
1 lb smoked link sausage (sliced into 1/2 inch slices)
1/8 cup butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 white onion (chopped into medium chunks)
1 red bell pepper (cut into long strips)
3 green onions (chopped very finely)
2 large tomatoes (diced into large chunks)
1 lb cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined (optional)
6 ounces tomato paste
1/4 cup capers
8 1/2 ounces canned early peas (petit-pois)
3 ounces canned smoked oysters (optional)
4 -5 ounces sliced black olives or 4 -5 ounces whole green olives, as is traditional
1/2 cup white wine (optional) or 1/2 cup beer, you decide, traditional (optional)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 1) Place the whole chicken in a pot. Pour enough water into the pot to barely cover the chicken. Add a pinch of salt, a pinch of pepper and a pinch of poultry seasoning (optional).
  • 2) Bring water to a boil, cover and cook at medium/low heat for about one hour. Turn the chicken over about half way through to insure even cooking. Keep an eye on it so that it will not dry out and burn. However, the level of the water at the end should be fairly low, so don't add a lot of water through the cooking process. The tighter your lid fits on the pot, the less water you will need to replace. Remove from heat and allow to cool until it can be handled comfortably.
  • 3) Debone the chicken setting all the bones and skin aside in a bowl. Do not discard the broth from the chicken.
  • 4) In a very large frying pan, heat the butter and olive oil. Add the diced tomatoes, bell pepper strips, chopped onions (both) and 1 teaspoon of salt. When white onions look transparent, add the tomato paste, capers and olives and stir. Add the sausage slices, shrimp, oysters, the de-boned chicken meat and whatever broth you had left. Now is also the time to add the wine or beer if you are using any.
  • 5) Continue to stir over medium/low heat until the mixture becomes almost dry (broth has evaporated and been absorbed). Now add the cooked rice a little at a time while stirring. Finally, add the early peas and stir gently to blend them inches.
  • 6) Serve hot accompanied by a large glass of Spanish Sangría poured over some ice, an orange wedge and a wedge of pineapple.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for fresh, flavorful vegetables, high-quality rice, and a good quality broth.
  • Don't overcook the rice: Arroz Valenciana should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked rice will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor, color, and texture to your dish. Some good options include tomatoes, peppers, onions, carrots, and peas.
  • Don't skimp on the saffron: Saffron is a key ingredient in Arroz Valenciana and it is what gives the dish its characteristic flavor. Use at least 1 teaspoon of saffron for a paella that serves 4-6 people.
  • Let the paella rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together and the rice to absorb the cooking liquid.

Conclusion:

Arroz Valenciana is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily create a paella that will impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting recipe, give Arroz Valenciana a try.
