Pilaf with chicken and shrimps

Cooking pilaf based on Spanish paella. First of all, we will fry the spices so that they reveal their aroma and give it to all the other ingredients. Then fry the chicken and pieces of vegetables. Last but not least, add the washed rice and shrimp. Under the lid, the pilaf will be cooked over low heat for no more than twenty minutes, and then it will come to readiness with the stove off. The result is a fragrant, satisfying meal for the whole family.

Ingredients

Cooking process

step 1 out of 9
In a thick-walled skillet, melt the chicken fat and heat it until hot. If chicken fat is not available, then we use a similar amount of odorless vegetable oil.
step 2 out of 9
Pour spices into hot fat: cumin and coriander. Fry them for a couple of minutes, until a specific aroma appears.
step 3 out of 9
We recommend using chicken thighs for pilaf, freed from skin and bones. Unlike breasts, they are more juicy. Cut the fillets into small pieces and put them in hot oil with spices. Fry the chicken until light crust, periodically turning each piece.
step 4 out of 9
Peel the carrots, rinse, dry and cut into small cubes. Peel the onions, wash, dry and cut into small pieces. We clean the celery stalks from dirt, wash them, dry them and cut them into small transverse pieces. Cut the chili pepper into thin rings. Pour the prepared vegetables into the chicken pan. Mix and fry everything together for three to four minutes.
step 5 out of 9
Pour sweet ground paprika for frying and pour in a glass of hot water, stir.
step 6 out of 9
Wash the rice well beforehand to remove excess starch from the grains. The groats should take on a translucent appearance. Place the washed cereals in a pan with vegetables and chicken.
step 7 out of 9
Align the rice around the perimeter of the pan. We make sure that the croup is covered with liquid by half a centimeter-centimeter. Top up with hot water if necessary. Put frozen shrimp in a shell on top of the rice, bay leaves, washed cloves of garlic in the husk, sprinkle with salt to taste. Close the pan with a lid, bring the contents to a boil and reduce the heat to minimum. Cook pilaf for twenty minutes with a slow boil.
step 8 out of 9
Then turn off the stove and leave the pilaf under the lid to reach readiness for another ten to fifteen minutes. This will steam the rice and make the taste of the dish richer.
step 9 out of 9
Ready pilaf and lay out on portioned plates, sprinkle with chopped green onions. By the way, the chives in the husk become very soft inside, almost creamy.This garlic can be spread on a slice of bread and served with pilaf as an addition.
Bon Appetit!
