How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Divide the chicken into joints and soak in the seasoned olive oil. Make some stock from the chicken carcass.
|
2. Prepare the red pepper, removing the seeds and white pith, and then cut into thin strips. Dice the bacon and the chicken liver and slice the onion thinly.
|
3. Pour 1 tablespoon olive oil into a frying pan and add the diced bacon, red pepper, onion and garlic; cover and cook gently for 15 minutes.
|
4. Drain and keep warm, returning the oil to the pan and adding 1 tablespoon more oil. Fry the rice until it starts to brown, stirring gently with a wooden spoon.
|
5. Skim the chicken stock and add a little at a time to the rice so that the grains absorb the stock before more is added.
|
6. Add the chicken liver after the rice has been cooking for about 10 minutes; when the rice is fully cooked stir in the other ingredients and keep warm.
|
7. Add further 1 tablespoon oil to the pan and cook the chicken pieces gently for about 20 minutes or until just golden and tender-allow longer for the legs and thighs.
|
8. Turn the rice mixture on to a large dish and arrange the chicken pieces on it. Sprinkle with chopped chervil and diced pineapple and serve with green salad.
