A recipe for what I call the Chicken dish

• 100 mil extra virgin oil
• 150 ml plain white flour
• 60 ml paprika
• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 free-range chicken, portioned
• 20 small baby onions, peeled
• 2 green peppers, grilled, peeled and pitted
• 2 gloves garlic, peeled and chopped
• 5 ripe tomatoes peeled and pitted (or canned – not the same, but works if you’re in a hurry)
• 50 ml salted buter
• 20 small fresh mushrooms
• fresh parsley and basmati rice

Heat the oil in a casserole.

Mix flour, paprika and seasoning – cover chicken with mixture. Brown the pieces.

Add baby onions

Cut green peppers in strips and add.

Add garlic

Cut tomatoes in strips – catch all the juices and add.

Add enough water for the dish to simmer.

While the chicken is cooking (should take about an hour), melt butter in a pan, allow it to brown and add mushrooms. Fry until they have caramelised.

When serving, pour mushrooms over dish, add parsley and same with basmati rice.

Enjoy!
