Kabsaa
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups rice
1 or 2 Tomato cut up in small pieces
1 medium onion chopped
2 tsp of Baharat spice ground
3 tsp of cardamom ground
3/4 can of tomato paste/sauce
6 tsp of olive oil
1 cup green pepper (slice),
1 tablespoon green chill,
turmeric,
1 small box of raisins (option)
1 small chicken cut in sections
salt to taste
1 cinnamon stick
4 cloves of garlic, minced
Directions:
- Wash chicken thoroughly and take the skin off the chicken. Set aside skinned chicken.
- In a large boiler pot add oil, chopped onions and 1 tsp of cardomon stirring until browned on medium high heat.
- Add boiling water to the boiler pot until half full.
- Add salt accoriding to your own taste, 2 tsp of cardomon, add the garlic, then cut tomato, 3/4 can of tomato paste, the raisins to the already browned onions.
- Stir on medium heat (add spices to suit your own taste).
- Add chicken to the broth and keep at medium heat. Cover with a lid.
- Boil chicken on medium high for approximately 30 minutes. Turn down heat to medium temp and take the chicken out of the broth and place in an oven baking dish into a preheated oven at 300 degrees F. & bake.
- Strain the broth. Keep the strained ingredients in one bowl and the broth in another bowl.
- Put the ingredients (e.g. onions, tomato, etc.) back into the boiler pot.
- Add the 1 1/2 cups of rice along with 3 measured cups of the kapsa broth that you had previously set aside in a bowl.
- Bring the rice, the Kapsa broth and all the ingredients to a boil, then immedietly turn down heat to low and cover sealing tightly again. Cover with a lid. Do not open or peek at it for atleast 10 minutes. Keep checking to see if rice is light and fluffy, but do not stir rice.
The Kapsa rice is done when all the broth has been absorbed. Remember to check on the chicken in the oven every so often to make sure that it doesn't overcook and become dry. The chicken should be moist.
Turn off the heat and allow the extra steam to escape. If the
rice appears dry and not completely cooked add a little bit of the extra broth and
recover until finished. Do not mix the water and rice, just add over the top.
