New Year’s easy: Honey & Co’s one-pot chicken and rice with amba
Swerve the stress on New Year’s Eve and serve up a buffet comprising one big dish with plenty of sides, like this chicken and rice with amba, an amazing, tangy Iraqi condiment
TL;DR
- New Year's Eve pressure for the 'best' meal often leads to disappointment and kitchen chaos.
- Past disastrous New Year's Eve meals included an over-ordered tarte tatin and an untested surprise menu.
- A successful strategy is a simple, abundant buffet with one main dish and various sides.
- A recommended dish is chicken and rice with amba, an Iraqi condiment made from fermented sour mangoes.
- Amba can be substituted with piccalilli if unavailable.
- The dish is served with pickles, chili sauce, chopped salad, and tahini sauce for a festive yet fuss-free celebration.
