Turkish pilaf

Wash the chicken breast fillets, pat dry, and cut into pieces. Peel and dice the onion. Trim, wash, and dice the bell peppers. Heat olive oil in a high pan and brown the meat pieces. Add the diced onion and bell pepper and fry. Add the rice and raisins and pour in the chicken or vegetable stock. Season with saffron, a little ginger powder or some fresh, finely chopped ginger, salt, pepper, and a little ground cumin. Simmer over low heat for about 20-30 minutes, until the rice is tender. Check towards the end to see if you need to add more stock. By the end of the cooking time, all the liquid should have been absorbed by the rice.
