I love one dish meals. This one is simple and beautiful – delicious of course.

This dish is reminiscent of yesterday’s pulao – I really hope that you try it and let me know what you think.

Feel free to add more ingredients of your choice.

6 Chicken thighs, bone in

2 tbs. oil

½ tsp. saffron steeped in warm broth

2 cups rice of your choice (long grain is best)

4 cups broth (chicken, shrimp or even water will do)

a variety of seafood (about 2 lbs)

shrimp, scallops, mussels, fish, clams, etc

1 cup frozen peas

2 lemons cut into wedges

salt and pepper

Season the chicken sear on both sides till nice and golden brown.

Add the rice and coat with the oil. Add the stock and the saffron. Cook about 20 minutes. Just as the rice is almost done, layer the top with the seafood and cook another 5 to 7 minutes or till the seafood is just cooked.

Serve hot with wedges of lemon

Until I eat again!
