Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 medium tomatoes, sliced
1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and quartered
2 small red onions, 1 quartered, 1 diced
1 scotch bonnet pepper, or habanero, stem removed
½ cup vegetable oil, plus 2 tablespoons
1 lb boneless chicken thighs, cubed
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 cups parboiled long grain rice, washed
2 stock cubes
¾ cup water

Steps:

  • Add the tomatoes, red bell pepper, quartered onion, and pepper to a blender and blend until smooth.
  • In a pot over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons oil, diced red onion, chicken, and curry powder. Cook until onions are soft and chicken has browned, about 8-10 minutes. Remove chicken from pot and set aside.
  • Raise heat to medium-high, and using the same pot, add pureed tomato mixture, cooking until reduced by half.
  • Add in remaining oil, and fry sauce for 8-10 minutes.
  • Stir in chicken, along with rice, stock and thyme leaves.
  • Cover pot tightly with foil. Cover with lid and reduce heat to low, cooking for 30 minutes.
  • Once rice is cooked, fluff up before serving.
  • Enjoy!
