About the dish

An oven-baked chicken and rice dish in the French style from the poultry and game chapter of Stor kokebok (1914). Erken emphasizes the plating: rice along the platter, the chicken pieces around it, and hollowed-out tomatoes filled with vegetables or forcemeat as garnish.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Prepare the chicken

    Clean the chicken in the usual way, dry it and cut it into suitable pieces. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Brown the chicken

    Fry the chicken pieces nicely brown in butter together with the chopped onion.

  3. 3

    Brown the rice

    Brown the rice separately in about 50 g butter until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Assemble the pot

    Put the rice together with the chicken in a pot, add the bay leaf and the peeled, coarsely cut tomatoes.

  5. 5

    Bake in the oven

    Pour on the boiling meat stock and put the pot in a very hot oven for about 1 hour, or until the chicken is tender.

  6. 6

    Adjust the rice

    If the rice has cooked too dry, pour over 1 dl veal stock and stir gently with a fork.

  7. 7

    Plating

    Arrange the rice lengthwise on an oblong platter and place the chicken pieces around it. Set hollowed-out tomatoes filled with vegetables or forcemeat on top of the rice, and arrange lettuce and parsley or chervil leaves around the edge.

Changes from the original

Measurements have been converted to modern units (g, dl, l, tsp). Chopped onion (1 tsp in the original) has been kept as a small amount. The veal stock for moistening the rice has been listed in the ingredient list. The filling for the tomatoes is given as an optional accompaniment.
