Arroz con Pollo is to the Hispanic community what roast beef is to Anglos. Everyone prepares it, and everyone prepares it the way their family prepared it before them. With that being said, I think the saffron addition would not be used in the vast majority of Hispanic homes....simply too expensive. <BR/><BR/>Most season this dish very simply, salt, pepper, garlic, amd cumin. That's all I use. The cumin is what really gives it the flavor. I guess the paprika would give it some color. I don't add peas or carrots (celery and onion only) but I think they would work well. <BR/><BR/>Browning the chicken AND the rice is a must, I like to sweat the celery and onion also. I also like to through in a couple of bullion cubes w/the stock.<BR/><BR/>I've never baked this dish, always do it on top of the stove. I did a very large batch of this just week for a out-of-the-office meeting. Prepared enough for 25, browned the meat(I used boneless skinless breast so people wouldn't have to mess w/bones) and rice the night before. Put it all together in a large electric roaster. Came out very good.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13598696926839177637noreply@blogger.com
