Ingredients
Preparation
First, finely dice the onion (1) and press the garlic clove (1).
Cut the chicken breast fillet (200 g) into bite-sized pieces and fry them in a pan with some olive oil (15 ml) until golden brown all over.
Now add the onion (1) and garlic (1) to the meat and sauté briefly until translucent.
Briefly toast the tomato paste (20 g) and the Kabsa spice blend (5 g) to let the aromas unfold.
Stir in the basmati rice (100 g) until it shines slightly, then deglaze with the chicken broth (250 ml).
Add the raisins (20 g) and let everything simmer gently on low heat with the lid closed for about 15 to 20 minutes until the rice is cooked.
Meanwhile, toast the almond slivers (20 g) in a small pan without fat until golden brown and sprinkle them over the finished Kabsa at the end. Enjoy!
