    Another recipe by Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi from their book “Jerusalem”, famous enough no need for intro.  And like all of their recipes, this rice is just wonderful with fried onions, herbs and currant. Plus it’s gluten-free and vegan.  It’s a dish that can be a side dish it’ll go very well with meat and fish, as it can be a hearty main course for vegetarians and vegans. My rice is a bit yellow compared to the original recipe, it’s just because I added curry, you can make whatever you like, after all cooking is all about taste.

First of all, know that the recipe that I’m sharing with you today is effortless.  I recommend you prepare your chicken ahead of time…
