- Not having seen any posted, let me give you mine, which I make quite
- frequently. Unfortunately, I do not measure, so things will be
- approximate; so adapt this to your taste. Substitutions are in
- order.
-
- 2-3 pounds chicken, whole cut up or hind quarters, cut up.
- 1 fair-sized onion, chopped
- 1 16-ounce can of tomatoes (NOT stewed)
- about 4 ribs of celery, diced
- 1 good-sized bell pepper, diced
- wine, about 2/3 cup
- garlic
- paprika
- oregano
- thyme
- pepper
- salt (optional)
- cornstarch for thickening
-
- Cut the chicken into serving pieces, legs and thighs separated.
- I remove the skin, but do as you wish. Saute the onion in a small
- amount of oil, and then saute the chicken with it. Remove the
- chicken and saute the celery and bell pepper several minutes.
- Add the tomatoes with their juice, either run through a blender
- or food processor or cut up into small pieces. Add the spices
- and the wine.
-
- Put the chicken back, and simmer until the chicken is done, turning
- once. I find that if the chicken is well sauteed, about 7 minutes
- on a side is right for this part. Remove the chicken to a serving
- platter, and thicken the sauce.
-
- I find this "recipe' quite robust. If one does not have celery on
- hand, do it anyhow. Likewise if one does not have bell pepper.
- It is not as good without wine. Usually I use white wine, but the
- last time I used red, and it worked well. Fresh tomatoes can be
- used, but the flavor is not as strong.
