i love filipino food, but the soy sauce has a lot of sodium. use the "light" soy sauce instead of the regular stuff. try adding cayenne pepper, or crush some chili peppers into the mix...

oh man those are some good recipes manfred_man.

for some reason, i never find panfried chicken as good as grilled chicken; the texture just isn't the same (more rubbery i guess?). but unfortunately i don't have a real grill, i have a foreman grill, which tends to burn the chicken...

any good recipes for BAKED chicken??

1/2 (10 oz) package frozen green peas
1/2 (10 oz) package frozen green beans
salt to taste
1 tsp mild paprika, or to taste
1 pinch saffron threads
dried thyme to taste (optional)
dried rosemary to taste (optional)
4 cups uncooked white rice, or as needed

- heat a paella pan over medium-high heat, and coat with olive oil
- add the chicken, rabbit and garlic
- cook & stir until nicely browned
- move the browned meat to the sides of the pan, and add the tomato, butter beans, peas, and green beans
- season with paprika and mix well

- fill the paella pan almost to the top with water, measuring the water as you put it in
(this is to help you to determine how much rice to add, as paella pans come in different sizes)
- bring to a boil
- simmer for about 1 hour to make a nice broth

- season with a generous amount of salt, and just enough saffron to make a nice yellow colour
- season with thyme and rosemary if desired
- the goal is to make a rich tasting broth that will soak into the rice to make it delicious
- stir in half as much rice as the amount of water in the pan
- cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until all of the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.


Note:
Rabbit can be very hard to find so you can just use a whole chicken instead. It also may be easier to use boneless chicken, but then you don't get any fun extras, like hearts and livers. If you do use the hearts and livers, don't put them in until later as they cook very fast. They will however add a nice flavour to the rest of the dish.
