Saffron rice with chicken & peppers<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

STEP 1
Put the #saffron<\/a> in a small bowl and pour over the warm water. Bruise the strands with the back of a teaspoon to fix the colour, and set aside while you prepare the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEP 2
Heat the #olive<\/a> oil in a large, weighty casserole, and when hot tip in the #chicken<\/a> . Stir fry for a minute or two over a high heat to seal in the juices, then set aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEP 3
Strip the leaves from the thyme sprigs and scatter into the pan along with the onions and garlic. Fry until golden then pour in the lime juice. Turn the heat down a tad, add the #pepper<\/a> and continue #cooking<\/a> for another 5 minutes before adding the wine, stock and seasoning. Return the chicken to the pan and simmer for 6 minutes until the meat is tender and the liquid has cooked down a little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEP 4
Meanwhile, #cook<\/a> the #rice<\/a> in a pan of fast boiling water until tender, but with a slight bite. Drain in a colander and rinse with warm water. Heap over the chicken while still on the heat. Drizzle with the saffron and its soaking liquid, and scatter over the peas. Don\u2019t stir the chicken and rice at this stage, but cover and cook over a low-moderate heat until the rice is fluffy and the liquid reduced to a few tablespoons \u2013 about 3 minutes. Before serving, gently mix the saffron-streaked rice with the chicken and pepper mixture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
