Within the Lowcountry area (the coastal areas of the Carolinas and Georgia), perloo is a beloved rice dish. Much like jambalaya, perloo begins with a flavorful base of rice simmered with tomato, bell pepper, celery, garlic, and onion. That is my favourite one-pot recipe. It’s nice as a aspect dish or a middle desk merchandise.
We use rooster on this recipe, however you can substitute one other protein corresponding to shrimp or pork. When Paul, the culinary director for the entire Pihakis Restaurant Group, first tasted perloo he stated it reminded him of a caldoso, a Spanish soupy rice dish.–Rodney Scott & Lolis Eric Eli

*What’s short-grain rice finest used for?
Rodney Scott makes use of short-grain rice on this recipe, and for good motive. Brief-grain rice, corresponding to arborio, carnaroli, and Charleston gold, is ideal for recipes with a soupy or stewy texture corresponding to rooster perloo or jambalaya.
Starchier than long- or medium-grain rice, these explicit kinds of rice take in lots of liquid and tackle a creamy texture. Risotto is an ideal instance of how creamy one of these rice will get when cooked with a number of flavorful liquid.

Recipe Testers’ Critiques
This scrumptious recipe was nicely price my whereas regardless of at present’s summer season warmth. (Plus, I acquired to make use of my very own cherry tomatoes!) I’d by no means heard of rooster perloo, however this recipe seems a splendidly savory, soupy, chickeny stew that I’m wanting ahead to creating once more this winter. Not a ton of prep is required, and the stew actually does its personal factor for more often than not, not requiring your fixed consideration in any respect. What a very good addition to 1’s winter dinner menus!
Hen perloo was the salvation of final evening’s over-baked rooster thighs. With the ability to use my Dutch oven was an actual boon. An EASY recipe, and it turned out simply because the introduction said–a “soupy rice dish”, excellent for chilly fall afternoons and an amazing use for leftover roast rooster. Scrumptious!
