CHICKEN AND RICE WITH CUMIN AND CILANTRO

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a pot large enough to hold chicken wings in a single layer. Add chicken wings; cook until browned, about 8 minutes. Turn wings with tongs; cook until second side is browned, about 8 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl using tongs.
• Stir onions, garlic, and ginger into the drippings in the pot; cook until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in rice and cumin. Add water, 1 1/2 cup cilantro stems, tomatoes, sriracha sauce, and salt.
• Return wings to the pot. Bring broth to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until rice and wings are tender, about 30 minutes. Garnish with remaining 1/2 cup cilantro stems.

CHICKEN AND RICE WITH CUMIN AND CILANTRO

Steps:

• Pat wings dry with paper towels. Remove and discard wing tips, if attached. Cut each wing into 2 pieces. Heat oil over high heat in a 14-inch skillet or pot large enough to hold wings in a single layer. Place them in pan; brown, uncovered, 6-8 minutes on each side or until golden (if using a smaller pan, brown chicken in 2 batches). Transfer to a large bowl. Add onion, garlic and ginger to pan; cook 2-3 minutes or until tender. Stir in rice and cumin. Stir in tomatoes, salt, Sriracha, water and cilantro stems. Return wings to pan. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and cook 30-40 minutes or until wings are cooked through and rice is done. Serve garnished with chopped cilantro and lime wedges.

CUMIN/CARDAMOM CILANTRO RICE!

Steps:

• Cook the onion in the oil, in a deep saucepan with the cloves, cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, cumin seeds until the onion is slightly browned and soft. Keep the heat medium to low and stir frequently; this should take about 10 minutes.
• Add the rice and move it about in the oily spiced onion until it is slicked and glossy, then pour in the stock and bring the pan to the boil. Cover the pan with a lid and cook over the lowest heat possible for 20 minutes.
• Turn off the heat, take the lid off, cover with a kitchen towel and cover with the lid. You can leave the rice to rest like this for at least 10 minutes, and up to about 1 hour.
• Fluff the rice before serving and garnish with cilantro!

CILANTRO CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Dredge chicken in flour to coat. Place chicken in the skillet, and cook just until browned on all sides; set aside.
• Stir onion, bell pepper, and garlic into the skillet. Cook 5 minutes, until tender. Pour in chicken broth. Mix in the yellow rice, stewed tomatoes, pinto beans, black beans, corn, diced green chile peppers, and cilantro. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil. Return chicken to skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 30 minutes, until rice is tender and chicken juices run clear.

ONE-POT CHICKEN AND RICE WITH GINGER AND CUMIN

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add half the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook, turning halfway, until browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate. Repeat with remaining chicken.
• Add butter, shallots and remaining oil and cook, stirring, until butter is melted and shallots are softened, about 2 minutes. Add the ginger, garlic, mustard seeds, cumin seeds and cardamom (if using), and stir until very fragrant, 2 minutes.
• Add rice and raisins, season well with salt and pepper and stir to coat, 30 seconds. Add broth, scraping bottom of pot to remove any browned bits.
• Nestle chicken with any accumulated juices into the mixture and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with carrots, then cover and turn off heat. Let carrots steam for 5 minutes.
• Add cilantro and fluff rice with a fork. Divide among bowls and serve with hot sauce and yogurt, if desired.

ROAST CHICKEN LEGS WITH CILANTRO GREMOLATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
• Season the chicken aggressively with salt and pepper, then place, skin-side up, in a shallow baking pan and toss with a drizzle or two of the olive oil. Dust with ground cumin and place in the oven.
• Roast the chicken until its skin is crisp and a knife inserted and removed from the flesh of the thigh results in clear juices, about 30 minutes, then remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
• As the chicken cooks, combine the cilantro, lime juice, garlic and the remaining olive oil to make the gremolata. Sprinkle the gremolata over the chicken and serve, ideally with rice and beans.
