Chicken and Chickpea Pilaf
Chicken & Chickpea Pilaf or Tavuklu Nohutlu Pilav: Shredded barbecue chicken with rice and chickpeas. This is a meal that is everywhere in the Turkish culture, from roadside stalls to supermarket counters and fast food joints. It’s always filling and delicious - especially when loaded up with juicy chicken and topped with some spicy pickled peppers.
INGREDIENTS:
FOR THE MARINADE
2 Tbsp olive oil
zest and juice of 1 lemon
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground paprika
1 tsp ground chilli
½ tsp sea salt
freshly ground pepper
FOR THE CHICKEN
6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 large red onions, sliced
1 Tbsp olive oil
TO SERVE
125 g cherry tomatoes, chopped
fresh parsley
pickled chilli peppers
lemon slices
sumac, to sprinkle over (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS:
Heat the oven to 220°C / 425°F / Gas 7. Whisk together all marinade ingredients in a glass or ceramic bowl, slice the chicken thighs in half and toss through the marinade. Note: Chicken can be kept in the marinade for up to 24 hours in the fridge.
Halve the red onions and slice finely. Scatter over the base of an approx. 20x30cm ovenproof dish, drizzle over the oil and toss to combine. Place the chicken thighs on top, in one layer if possible, pouring over any remaining marinade. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then turn the thighs over and bake for a further 10 minutes. Cover with tinfoil and keep warm.
Meanwhile, prepare the pilaf by heating the olive oil and butter in a medium saucepan. Add the onion to the pan and cook, stirring over low heat for 5 minutes until softened, but not browned. Add the rice to the pan and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring so that it doesn’t catch.
Pour in the hot stock and chickpeas, stir well, then bring to the boil. Cover
