I use avocado oil. Heat it well. Season the thighs with salt and pepper and place them into the pan, skin side down. Brown both sides and set aside. Add the onion and scrape the bottom of the pan. Sauté for a few minutes. Add the carrot and mix. Add the turmeric and cumin. Mix well and cook for a couple of minutes. Add the garlic and return the chicken thighs. Add the water and the bay leaves. Bring to a boil, cover the pot and reduce the heat. Simmer for about an hour. After the hour, remove the chicken and set it aside. Discard the onion, garlic, bay leaves and carrot. Skim off the fat from the top of the broth. Season the broth with salt and pepper. Allow the chicken to cool, skin it and shred the meat into medium size pieces. Add the rice to the broth and cook for about 10 minutes. Add the peas*, asparagus and shredded chicken and cook for another 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the spinach. Mix it in and let it wilt. Serve with lemon juice and enjoy. *If using fresh peas add them in with the rice Music courtesy of Artlist - Young Rich Pixies - Cartoon Ukelele
