French Style Cooking

July 15, 2016 Belle Amatt

Vive La France. Tricky times - it’s hard to know what to do in the face of such utterly shocking news. Be calm, resolute, eat, live.

A dish in support of French culture, a recipe received today from my French host and superb chef, Sylvianne, after a trip to Avignon last month. So here we go, cook with love and support - Basque Chicken:

 

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 8 chicken thighs

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced

  • 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

  • 1/2 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced

  • 2 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced

  • 20 cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 4 jarred piquillo peppers, drained

  • 1 teaspoon chopped thyme

  • 1 cup dry white wine

  • 1 cup water

    How to:

  • Brown off the chicken

  • In a separate pan, sauté the onion, garlic and peppers in olive oil. Add a splash of water, this allows you to steam with the lid on rather than fry at a high heat. When reduced add the tomatoes, piquillo peppers and thyme. Then add the chicken, wine and the rest of the water.

  • Simmer on a low heat for 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked.

  • Season and serve with basmati rice.
