Weekend Inspiration for Cuban Chicken with Rice

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken drumsticks with thighs
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 red onion
• 1 red bell pepper
• 180 g rice
• 1 liter chicken stock
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 ½ teaspoons turmeric
• 2 bay leaves
• 2 teaspoons oregano
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• ½ teaspoon salt
• salt and pepper to taste
• 70 g canned green peas

Make little cuts in the chicken and season it. Sear the chicken in heated olive oil for about 8 minutes, then remove it from the pan. Finely chop the onion and pepper, sauté for about 5 minutes, add the stock, rice, tomato paste, spices, and the previously seared chicken. Cover the pan and cook on low heat for 35 minutes without stirring. In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the peas and gently stir.

Enjoy!
