CHICKEN PELAU
Ingredients:
2 ½ – 3lb chicken pieces seasoned with salt, pepper, chives, thyme, garlic, parsley,
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce,
1 large onion, sliced 
1-1 ½ cups lentils
¼ -1/2 cup sugar
hot pepper if desired
1 tbsp. ketchup
2 cups rice washed
4 cups water
1 sweet pepper,
2 –3 tbsp. vegetable oil
salt and pepper to taste
Heat oil in a large heavy iron pot or skillet. Add sugar and allow to burn until dark brown. Add seasoned meat and stir until pieces are
well coated with burnt sugar; brown for 5 min. Stir rice into chicken and turn often till
well blended; cook for 3 min. more. Add onion, chopped sweet peppers and lentils and
stir fry for a few seconds. Add salt, pepper and water and bring to a boil, lower heat,
cover and simmer until rice is cooked and all liquid is evaporated (about 25 –30 min). Add
more liquid if rice is still hard and continue to cook longer. Pelau can also be baked in
oven. Cover pot with tin foil, place in oven and bake at 350°F for 25 –30 min. In this way
the rice is likely to burn and is fluffy.
