INGREDIENTS TO GET READY
60ml x Garlic infused olive oil
500g x Skinless boned chicken thighs (cut each into 4)
2x Onions (finely chopped)
2 x Romano peppers (seeded & finely sliced)
2 x Large round vine tomatoes (deseeded & diced)
100ml x Dry sherry
2l x Hot Chicken stock
2g x Saffron strands
20g x Parsley
80g x Garlic cloves (smash & chop)
200g x Bomba rice
Salt & pepper
100g x Piquillo peppers in garlic
PUT IT TOGETHER
1. Begin by heating 20ml of garlic oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Generously season the chicken with salt and pepper, then carefully add it to the pan. Brown the chicken on all sides to develop a rich golden color. Once browned, remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside for later use.
2. In the same pan, heat another 20ml of oil. Add the chopped onion and peppers to the pan and cook them until they soften and turn a beautiful golden brown. This process enhances their flavors and releases their natural sweetness. Deglaze the pan with sherry, adding a delightful depth of flavor to the dish. Return the browned chicken to the pan, along with the saffron threads, and pour in the hot stock. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Allow the chicken and the flavorful ingredients to cook together for approximately 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender.
3. In the meantime, prepare a garlic and parsley paste by pounding the garlic and parsley using a mortar and pestle. Create a thick paste by combining the two ingredients thoroughly. Add half of this paste to the simmering soup, infusing it with aromatic flavors. Additionally, add the rice to the soup, allowing it to cook and absorb the delicious broth. Let the soup simmer for approximately 20 minutes or until the rice reaches an al dente texture. Taste and adjust the seasoning according to your preferences.
4. To enhance the soup further, add piquillo peppers and chopped tomatoes. These ingredients contribute a vibrant color and a burst of tangy sweetness to the dish. Once everything is ready, serve the soup immediately. Drizzle the remaining garlic and parsley paste on top, adding an extra layer of flavor and freshness. Pair the soup with lots of warm, crispy bread for a satisfying and hearty meal.
5. Now, sit back and enjoy the aromatic, flavorful, and comforting bowl of soup you've created.
