Steps to make Chicken Pilaf:

- Melt the butter in a casserole and gently fry the shallots for 4 minutes,stirring only to avoid sticking..
- Add the garlic and fry for a further 2 minutes, stirring gently..
- 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..
- Add the chicken, rice, sumac, salt and pepper. Stir thoroughly again..
- 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..
- 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..
- Top with the tomato wedges and, if wished, coriander or parsley garnish. Serve onto warmed plates..
