Our tested Steamed Chicken Thigh Pilaf: zingy, generous, and balanced with red curry. Serves 4 people with plenty to go around.
Free to cook
Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the red curry elements, and pat the chicken thigh dry so it colours well.
Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Turn up the heat and add the chicken thigh. Steam over simmering water until just tender and vibrant, then dress while warm.
Stir in the coconut milk and the rest of the red curry flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.
Add the fennel along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.
Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
