1:
Prepare an oven dish amde of glass or clay. Rub the bottom with a clove of garlic
and then put the chicken pieces inside it.
2: Peel the potatoes
and onions. Cut them into large pieces and put them in the oven dish with the
chicken. Do the same with the tomatoes.
3: Chop the garlic and sprinkle
on top with small pieces of parsley and thyme. Add the lemon juice, pinenuts,
almonds, pepper and salt.
4: Disolve the stock cube in a small glass
of warm water and pour onto the chicken. Then pour on the glass of white wine
and the oil. Try to make sure that all these liquids are poured over the ingredients
as evenly as possible.
5: Put the oven dish in the middle of the
oven and leave it to cook for an hour and a half at 180º. When all the ingredients
are cooked, take the oven dish out of the oven and serve (see photos before and
after below).
Use quality ingredients:
- Olive oil: Use a good quality oil. Users of the Ciao website recommend Aceite
Carbonell. Here is anothe list of recommended Spanish olive oils: Aceitedeoliva.com...
- As
far as the stock cube is concerned, our very special and bonafide chef, Abuela
(Grandmother) Joaquina, recommends using Gallina Blanca chicken breast
stock.
- If you prefer, you can follow the same recipe but instead of chicken
use turkey or lamb. If you use lamb. If you do use lamb, remember to use more
aromatic herbs (thyme, rosemary..) and less oil, because lamb is fattier than
chicken. If you don't have any wine, you can also use cognac, martini, whiskey,
liquor...
