This is a great hearty meal. It is based on a recipe my Dad makes. It is super simple to make with canned tomatoes. I, of course, had to over complicate things and start with whole tomatoes (trying to use up the batch we got this week from the farm).
Ingredients:
1/2 chicken, skinned and cut into 6 parts
3 lbs tomatoes
1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic roughly chopped
1/2 cup mixed fresh herbs (parsley, basil, rosemary, thyme)
1 cup red wine
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Wash tomatoes. Heat water and add tomatoes.
2. Remove tomatoes after 30 seconds. Peel tomatoes and cut into quarters.
3. Slice onions and chop garlic.
4. Add tomatoes, bring to a simmer. Let simmer for 15 minutes.
5. In the mean time, cut up the chicken.
6. Add chicken, and return to a simmer.
7. Keep a slight simmer for 3 hours.
8. Chop herbs. Add herbs and wine and gently stir.
9. Continue to simmer on low for another hour.
10. Plate and serve with a fresh salad and biscuits (to sop up the sauce).
Hey! Just discovered your site. I remember eating this when I would come down for my summer visits. I always loved it and have never actually made it for my family. I think I will put this on the grocery list this week and try it out! I’m always trying to come up with something different and I think this would go over well. Thanks!
