Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. On the hob, toast the pine nuts in a flameproof casserole dish, remove and set aside.

  • step 2

    Heat the oil in the casserole and soften the onion with the turmeric for 3 mins. Add the chicken thighs and cook for 3-4 mins until browned all over. Tip in the rice, sultanas and 700ml stock, then bring to the boil. Cover with a lid and bake in the oven for 20 mins, checking halfway and adding more stock if needed. Cook until the chicken is done and the rice tender. Season to taste, then stir in the toasted pine nuts and serve sprinkled with fresh coriander.

Made it this with the curry powder and extra spices. It makes such a difference! Also takes an hour. Reduced the amounts as didn’t need the amount above. Added chorizo too to give a bit extra! Next time would add peas

Nice, easy recipe - I read the comments below and was worried about lack of spice / flavour so added ginger, garlic, cumin (with turmeric and onion) and 2 tbsp of medium curry powder & a tsp of chilli flakes before popping in oven. I also added red & green peppers for more veg - will add…

I love this kind of recipe where all ingredients baked in oven and left alone. I did add more spices, coriander and additional nuts ie peanuts, cashews and almonds. A great recipe - easy and so tasty. It was enjoyed by all and I will definitely be making this one often.

Good not great, needs a bit more spice. The sultanas and pine nuts are a nice touch. Definitely needs more than 20 mins cooking, about 40-45 should do it.

I used basmatic rice, took 25 min. I cooked in a shallow cast iron dish, mixed the corriander and pine nuts through and put the lid back on for 5 min on the side. Lovely!
