Arroz con Pollo (Rice with Chicken) is a classic and timeless Latin-American dish that has captivated the hearts and palates of gourmets and gourmands the world over. It originated from the times when Spain was under the Moorish influence. It is believed that over the years, it made its way to Latin-American countries, where it remained popular to this day. Just like the Filipino favorite Adobo, there are as many versions of Arroz con Pollo as there are cooks; each one putting his or her own spin on it.In developing our recipe for this mouth-watering dish, Chef Joey Prats had to go through tons of books and research material to unearth the dish’s history and origin story. Within the pages of these tomes, he discovered that Arroz con Pollo had its humble beginnings during the 8th century (yes, more than a thousand years ago) in the motherland of Spain! The “original” recipe consisted of only a few simple ingredients, namely: chicken, stock, beer, sofrito, and a handful of spices including saffron, cumin, and coriander. From this template, Chef Joey cross-referenced early versions of the recipe with today’s modern take on it by chefs and cooks from several Latin-American countries. The result of this research was nothing short of a culinary masterpiece! While remaining true to the spirit of the original, Chef Joey added his own signature twist to it...Spanish chorizos. This gave the dish not only a lot of added flavor, color, and textural contrast, but also a dimension and character that would make anyone tasting this dish fall on their knees and scream… ”I want more!”This class was designed to equip the learner with the necessary knowledge and skill on how to make Arroz con Pollo y Chorizo.
