CHICKEN WITH CARAMELIZED ONION AND CARDAMOM RICE



Chicken With Caramelized Onion and Cardamom Rice image

A stunningly fragrant one-pot meal, this chicken and rice dish came to The Times from Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi's smash hit "Jerusalem: A Cookbook." Spiced with cinnamon, cardamom and whole cloves, its aromatic earthiness is balanced by plenty of herbs - dill, parsley and cilantro - for freshness and tang. And caramelized onions and dried barberries (or currants) contribute a gentle sweetness. This is dinner party food that is at once elegant and supremely comforting.

Provided by Julia Moskin

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons sugar (40 grams)
2 1/2 tablespoons barberries, or use currants (25 grams)
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, thinly sliced (2 cups, or 250 grams)
2 1/4 pounds skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (1 kilogram), or 1 whole chicken, quartered
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
10 cardamom pods
Rounded 1/4 teaspoon whole cloves
2 long cinnamon sticks, broken in two
1 2/3 cups basmati rice (300 grams)
2 1/4 cups boiling water (550 milliliters)
1 1/2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley leaves (5 grams), chopped
1/2 cup dill leaves (5 grams), chopped
1/4 cup cilantro leaves (5 grams), chopped
1/3 cup Greek yogurt (100 grams), mixed with 2 tablespoons olive oil (optional)

Steps:

  • Put the sugar and scant 3 tablespoons water in a small saucepan and heat until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat, add the barberries, and set aside to soak. If using currants, you do not need to soak them in this way.
  • Meanwhile, heat half the olive oil in a large sauté pan for which you have a lid over medium heat. Add the onion, and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion has turned a deep golden brown. Transfer the onion to a small bowl and wipe the pan clean.
  • Place the chicken in a large mixing bowl and season with 1½ teaspoons each salt and black pepper. Add the remaining olive oil, cardamom, cloves and cinnamon and use your hands to mix everything together well. Heat the frying pan again and place the chicken and spices in it. Sear chicken for 5 minutes on each side and remove from the pan (this is important as it part-cooks the chicken). The spices can stay in the pan, but don't worry if they stick to the chicken. Remove most of the remaining oil as well, leaving just a thin film at the bottom. Add the rice, caramelized onion, 1 teaspoon salt and plenty of black pepper. Drain the barberries and add them as well. Stir well and return the seared chicken to the pan, pushing it into the rice.
  • Pour the boiling water over the rice and chicken, cover the pan, and cook over very low heat for 30 minutes. Take the pan off the heat, remove the lid, quickly place a clean tea towel over the pan, and seal again with the lid. Leave the dish undisturbed for another 10 minutes. Finally, add the herbs and use a fork to stir them in and fluff up the rice. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot or warm with yogurt mixture if you like.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh cranberries, aromatic basmati rice, and sweet onions will make all the difference in the flavor of this dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the onions. If you overcrowd the pan, the onions will steam instead of caramelizing.
  • Be patient when caramelizing the onions. It takes time for the onions to turn golden brown and develop their sweet flavor.
  • Toast the rice before cooking it. This will help give the rice a nutty flavor.
  • Use a good quality broth. A flavorful broth will add depth to the dish.
  • Garnish the dish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, before serving.

Conclusion:

Cranberry rice with caramelized onions is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet and tart cranberries, caramelized onions, and fluffy rice is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new side dish, give this recipe a try!
