Massaman Chicken Rice

Recipe by Louis Tikaram

Serves: 6
Prep Time: 10 minutes (plus marinating time)
Cook Time: 30-35 minutes

Ingredients

Marinade
6 pieces of chicken thigh (bone-in, skin on)
3 tbsp Thai Ayam massaman curry paste
2 tbsp Ayam fish sauce
3 tbsp Ayam oyster sauce
1 tbsp Coles garlic powder
3 tbsp Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil

Rice
1 large onion, chopped
1 tbsp Ayam fish sauce
1 tbsp garlic, minced
2 cinnamon quills
5 pieces star anise
1½ cups uncooked jasmine rice
2½ cups chicken stock or water

Method

In a large mixing bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients and massage them into the chicken thighs. Set aside for 10 minutes to allow the flavours to infuse.

Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Place the chicken in the pan, skin side down, and pan-fry for 3 minutes on each side or until the skin is crispy. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent. Add the uncooked jasmine rice to the pan and mix well, scraping up any delicious, caramelised bits from the bottom.

Stir in the fish sauce, cinnamon quills, and star anise. Pour in the chicken stock or water and mix thoroughly, ensuring no rice is stuck to the bottom. Return the chicken to the pan, skin side facing up.

Once the mixture reaches a simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and cook for 20-25 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.

After cooking, turn off the heat and let the dish rest with the lid on for 5 minutes before serving.

Prep Time – 20 mins
Cook Time – 1.5 - 2 hours

Ingredients

1.5–2 kg whole chicken
Salt and pepper, to season
1 tbsp Italian dried herb mix
100 g butter, melted
A few sprigs of thyme
Olive oil, for drizzling

For the Oatmeal Stuffing:
375 g Red Tractor Organic Rolled Oats
115 g ghee or clarified butter
1 brown onion, peeled and finely diced
¼ cup dried apricots, chopped
¼ cup pistachios, chopped
½ tsp ground ginger
Coles himalayan sea salt and black pepper, to taste
½ cup water

Method

Preheat the oven to 220°C. Bring the chicken to room temperature. Clean the cavity of the chicken and remove all the innards. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.

In a medium pot over medium heat, add the melted butter and sauté the onions until translucent. Stir in the Red Tractor Organic Rolled Oats, ground ginger, and ½ cup of water. Mix all the ingredients together and cover. Steam for 1½ hours, or until the oats have softened, stirring occasionally. Once done, turn off the heat and fold in the pistachios and dried apricots. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Brush the chicken with melted butter and season with the Italian herbs, salt, pepper, and thyme. Carefully stuff the cavity of the chicken with the oatmeal stuffing and truss the legs together.

Place the chicken on a baking tray and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Roast the chicken for 70 to 90 minutes, or until the juices run clear. Check the doneness with an instant-read thermometer; it should read 74°C when inserted into the thickest part of the thigh.

Crunchy Chicken Tenders with Curry Leaf Mayo

Crunchy Chicken Tenders with Curry Leaf Mayo

Recipe by Brent Draper

Serves – 2
Prep Time – 30 mins, (3-4 hours for marinating)
Cook Time – 15 mins

Ingredients

2 Coles chicken breasts
1 cup plain flour
¼ cup cornflour
250 ml buttermilk
2 small bunches curry leaves
1 tablespoon yellow mustard seeds
1 cup Coles whole egg mayonnaise
½ teaspoon Coles ground turmeric
1 tablespoon curry powder
Vegetable oil for frying
Coles sea salt

Method

Place the chicken tenders in the buttermilk and set aside for approximately 3-4 hours in the fridge.

On a plate, combine the plain flour, Indian curry powder, and cornflour, mixing well.

To make the curry leaf mayo, fry the mustard seeds and 1 bunch of curry leaves in a little vegetable oil in a frying pan. Once cooked, roughly chop the curry leaves and add them to the mayonnaise. Stir in the turmeric and set aside.

Bring the frying oil to 180 degrees Celsius, and add a bunch of curry leaves for approximately 10 seconds. Be careful, as this will splatter! Place the fried curry leaves in a bowl on top of a piece of paper towel to drain.

Before coating the chicken, add a few tablespoons of buttermilk to the flour mixture and stir through. This will help create crunchy bits of batter on the chicken.

Once the chicken pieces are well coated, place them in the hot oil and cook for 6-8 minutes or until golden and the meat is cooked through. Drain the oil by placing the chicken on a plate lined with paper towel.

Serve in a bowl with the curry leaf mayo in the center, topping it off with crispy curry leaves and a sprinkle of salt!
