Ingredients

1 garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice, fresh
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 lb ground chicken
salt
pepper
1/2 teaspoon allspice
2 cups long grain rice
1/2 cup zucchini, cut in 1/4 inch dice (yellow squash would work as well)
1 cup fresh fava beans, blanched and peeled
2 1/2 cups chicken stock, hot
1/2 cup cilantro leaf

Steps:

On a cutting board, mash the garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt together with the side of a knife until a paste forms. Place in a small bowl with the lemon juice and set aside.
Heat the oil in a heavy saucepan, then add the onions and sauté until they soften.
Add the ground chicken and cook on high, breaking up the meat, until the juices start to run out. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and the allspice.
Add the rice, squash, beans, and hot stock. Lower the heat, cover, and let simmer for 15 minutes.
Turn off the heat.
Remove the cover and add the garlic and lemon mixture, stirring to combine.
Cover and let rest for another 5 minutes.
Place the rice in a serving dish, sprinkle with the cilantro, and serve immediately.
