Butter 2 tsp
Red pepper 1, deseeded and chopped
Yellow pepper 1, deseeded and chopped
White onion 1, peeled and chopped
Garlic 1 clove, peeled and crushed
Red chillies 1–2, deseeded and chopped
Vegetable stock 200ml (7fl oz)
Cooked chicken 150g (5oz), chopped
Double cream 3 tbsp
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Chopped fresh coriander
Boiled rice to serve
Instructions
1
Melt the butter in a frying pan over a low heat, add the peppers, onion, garlic and chilli and cook until softened but not browned. Add the stock and simmer for 5 minutes.

Using a slotted spoon, lift out one-third of the vegetable mixture (without the liquid) and set aside. Tip the remaining mixture with the liquid into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.

Yummy!
This sounds delicious and I shall try it. However could you suggest an alternative to coriander please as I really hate this taste as do many professional cooks. Many thanks.
Hi Romayne, you could try fresh parsley as an alternative.
