The secret to a good recipe lies in quality ingredients – every dish with Vlanel chicken is guaranteed to leave delicious memories.
Ingredients (for 4 servings)
- 2 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 red peppers, diced
- 3-4 cloves garlic, chopped or pressed
- 400 g canned tomatoes (chopped) or fresh, peeled and chopped
- 1 tsp smoked or sweet paprika
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano (or a few sprigs fresh, for garnish)
- Black pepper to taste
- 100 ml water or vegetable/chicken broth
Method of preparation
Heat the olive oil in a deep frying pan or cast iron pot. Pat the drumsticks dry with kitchen paper, season with pepper and fry until golden brown on all sides (about 6-8 minutes). Arrange on a plate.
In the same pot, sauté the onion until soft. Add the peppers and cook for 4-5 minutes until slightly softened. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add the tomatoes, paprika, oregano and stock (or water). Stir well.
Return the legs to the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 35-40 minutes, until the meat is tender and starting to fall off the bone. Sprinkle with fresh oregano or parsley. Serve with warm bread and a suitable drink – bon appetit!
