Preparation

  • Step 1

    Prepare a marinade by chopping a clove of garlic with the coriander, then mix in a bowl with the juice of a lime, the curry powder, the chili pepper, THE GINGER, 4 tablespoons of olive oil, two good pinches of salt and two turns of the pepper mill.

  • Step 2

    Rub the marinade into the chicken and place the head of garlic inside.

  • Step 3

    Cut the onions into thin slices, spread across a dish and season with salt and olive oil. Place the poultry on top.

  • Step 4

    Cook in the oven at 160°C for 45 minutes, then add the white wine to the bottom of the dish and return to the oven for 40 minutes. Finally, turn the heat up to 180°C for a final 10 minutes.

  • Step 5

    While the chicken is cooking, rinse the rice in cold water until it runs clear. In a saucepan, combine the rice, water, coconut milk, sugar and a pinch of salt, then bring to the boil. Cover with a lid, turn to low heat and cook for 15 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the heat and leave rice to rest for 10 minutes before stirring.

  • Step 6

    Add 3 tablespoons of LE GINGEMBRE to the sauce, as well as the onions, and pour the sauce over the poultry.  Serve with rice and lime quarters.
