Method

  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.
  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.

    Really tasty recipe. I added some cumin seeds and a pinch of dried chilis along with the tumeric as I like a little bit more heat. I would definately recommend this dish and will definately be cooking it again!

    I had to add some bombay curry spice as I thought turmeric lacked kick on its own. It was very good.

    Added 2 tablespoons of mild curry powder before putting in the oven to give a bit of heat. Delicious!

    I have been using this recipe since it was in the magazine - different every time. Try adding a tbsp curry paste and substitute cashews for the pine nuts - A real favourite in our house.

    Love this recipe although find I need to cook it for longer than stated. My children love the addition of chorizo - never any food left on their plates - fab!
