Redemption

Half of this chicken did not work out yesterday, so I have to make something good to redeem myself. I made this poor man's version of paella and it was good. Salt and pepper and sautee the chicken, remove. Sautee carrot, onion, chilli pepper and garlic until soft. Add tomato paste and then rice and toast around for a minute or so. Add white wine then hot stock (I made it with the back and wing tips and feet of the chicken) to which saffron has been added. Simmer for a few minutes until the water level is down to just over the rice then add the chicken back. Turn down the heat, put on the lid and the rice is ready in a few minutes. Tasty.
