1 lb chicken meat, chopped
2 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp pepper
2 tsp hot paprika
1/2 tsp salt
4 Tbsp olive oil
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 ounce salt pork, chopped
6 ounces ham, chopped
1 (2!) yellow onions, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped
1/2 lb chorizo sausage, cut in 1/2" pieces
1 tbsp capers
saffron threads
2 cups uncooked rice
4-6 cups water
1/2 cup frozen peas
Mix 2 tbsp olive oil, oregano, pepper, paprika, and salt in a large bowl. Coat the chicken with this mixture and then brown over medium-high heat. Add remaining olive oil and, with the chicken, saute the garlic, salt pork, and ham for a few minutes. Add the onion and bell pepper and saute for 5 minutes more. Add tomatoes and chorizo; simmer for 10 minutes or until the tomatoes collapse. Add capers, saffron, rice, and 3 cups water. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Add more water as needed, 1 cup at a time and continue to cook until the rice is soft (15-30 minutes more). Add the peas and simmer for 5 minutes more. Serve while hot. The dish should be a little bit soupy.
What worked: This was tasty. Have you ever made Louisiana-style rice and beans from a dried packet? This was like that, but without the beans. It was reasonably hot from the paprika, but not so spicy that the wife didn't like it. She's not too keen on the LA-rice&beans (a shame because I'm quite fond of them) but she thought this was pretty good.
What didn't: Lots more meat than I'd normally use for a dinner. Also, it took longer than expected to get the rice past the "crunchy" stage.
Will I make this again? Eh. It was good last night and it should be good for lunch today; however, the PITA factor may work against it.
