CHICKEN AND BROWN RICE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, turning, until golden on all sides, about 10 minutes; transfer to a plate.
• Add onion, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until onion is softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Stir in rice, tomatoes, peppers, and 1 1/4 cups water; nestle chicken pieces in rice mixture. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cover, and simmer over medium-low heat until rice is tender, 55 to 60 minutes. If any liquid remains in skillet, remove lid and simmer until evaporated.
• Sprinkle peas over contents of skillet; cover, and remove from heat. Set aside until peas are heated through, about 10 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.

STIR-FRIED BROWN RICE WITH POBLANO CHILES AND EDAMAME

Steps:

• Roast the poblano chiles over an open flame or under a broiler, turning often until uniformly charred. Place in a bowl, cover tightly and allow to cool. Remove the charred skins, rinse briefly if necessary and pat dry. Cut in half, remove seeds and membranes, and cut into 2-inch strips. Set aside near your wok. It's best to wear plastic gloves when handling the chiles.
• Beat two of the eggs in a bowl, and season to taste with salt. Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok over high heat until a drop of water evaporates from the surface in a second or two. Add 2 teaspoons of the oil to the sides of the pan and tilt the pan to distrbute. Making sure that the bottom of the wok is covered with oil, carefully pour in the eggs. Cook for about 30 seconds or until the eggs set, tilting the pan so that the eggs spread out into a thin pancake. Once the pancake is set and beginning to color, flip it over with a metal spatula and allow to cook for five seconds. Remove to a cutting board, and roll up the pancake. Cut into thin strips, and set aside. Repeat with the other 2 eggs.
• Add the remaining oil to the wok, and then the ginger, garlic and scallions. Stir-fry 10 seconds. Add the rice, roasted poblano strips and edamame. Stir-fry for two minutes, scooping up and breaking up the rice, then pressing it into the pan and scooping it up again. Add the egg strips, cilantro, soy sauce, salt to taste and pepper. Stir-fry another 30 seconds to combine. Remove from the heat and serve.

CHICKEN, LEEK & BROWN RICE STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a frying pan over a high heat and fry the chicken for 3 mins. Stir in the chorizo and cook for 2 mins more until the chicken is light golden and the chorizo has released its fat. Scoop the chicken and chorizo into a bowl using a slotted spoon, leaving as much oil in the pan as you can. Set aside.
• Tip the leek and red pepper into the pan and cook for 2 mins, stirring frequently until slightly softened. Add the kale and fry for 1 min more until the leaves have just started to wilt at the edges.
• Drizzle in the soy sauce and vinegar and scatter in the rice, breaking up any large chunks with a wooden spoon. Stir the chicken and chorizo back into the pan and toss everything together to combine. Cook for 3 mins until the rice is heated through, then serve.
