To get started with this particular recipe, we have to prepare a few ingredients. You can have chicken pilaf using 17 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you cook that.

The ingredients needed to make Chicken Pilaf:

1. Get large knob butter
2. Prepare banana shallots, diced
3. Make ready garlic, chopped
4. Make ready leek, sliced
5. Get celery, sliced
6. Make ready unsmoked bacon, diced

14. Take dry white wine
15. Prepare chicken stock

Instructions to make Chicken Pilaf:

1. Pre-heat oven to Gas Mark 3 or electric equivalent (Circotherm 150C)
2. Melt the butter in a casserole and gently fry the shallots for 4 minutes,stirring only to avoid sticking.
3. Add the garlic and fry for a further 2 minutes, stirring gently.
4. Stir in the leek and continue frying for another 2 minutes. Then add the celery and bacon, stirring occasionally, and after 3 minutes stir in the mushrooms, then the peppers. Stir all gently but thoroughly for 1 minute.
5. Add the chicken, rice, sumac, salt and pepper. Stir thoroughly again.
6. Add wine and stock and bring to the boil. Cover and put in oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice cooked.
7. Check after around 25 minutes that the rice mixture hasn’t “run dry”. It rarely happens but, if so, just add a splash or two of water. This is not a risotto so the aim is not to have a “wet” plate of food, just nice, fluffy, moist rice.
8. Top with the tomato wedges and, if wished, coriander or parsley garnish. Serve onto warmed plates.
