Chicken in Red Sauce


4 Chicken Quarters
1 or 2 containers of 500g of Tomato Puree
3 tomatoes
1 large onion
2 garlic cloves
(Spices to taste)
- pepper
- salt
- thyme
- basil

You'll want to use a pan with some depth to it and one that is large enough to hold 4 chicken quarters. We use a large round pan that has a long handle on the end of it. A pan you might bake a turkey or brownies (rectangular, rather than square unless you only plan on cooking 2 quarters) in would work as well.

Put the chicken quarters in the pan first, after thoroughly washing each piece of chicken and then your hands. Then add the tomato puree. I like to pour the puree all over the chicken so that the chicken will cook with the puree on in.

Next, add slice up the onions. I recommend cutting the onions into nice big chunks for two reasons. 1) It's really good that way. 2) Your eyes won't water nearly as much if you aren't subjected to the onions fumes for as long. Cut quick and dump quickly into the pan... speed helps keep the onion fumes out of the eyes. Go ahead and put a lid on the pan at this point so that the onion fumes can intermingle amongst themselves rather than throughout the kitchen.





Next, mince the garlic cloves. A clove is one of the pieces you can break off the garlic, not the whole thing. So, you want two of those pieces. Each piece is called a clove. To mince means to cut into very small pieces, so just take your knife (if you don't have a good knife, don't sweat it, you can cut it with a butter knife... it won't be quite as quick or easy but it'll get the job done and that's all that really matters) and slice, slice, slice then chop, chop, chop, chop, chop. Then sprinkle all your little pieces of minced garlic over your chicken.

Next, add spices to taste. Everybody likes different kinds of spices and to a different degree. Remember, you can always add more but you can't really add less.

Bring your sauce to a simmer (you'll want to see little bubbles popping up through the spice). Then turn the over down to a low heat... I put ours on 3 or 4, but every stove is different so you'll find the right temperature that works for you. The sauce will still simmer away gently (but it won't boil ferociously).

Allow your Chicken in Red Sauce to cook for about an hour. Remove from the stove and serve.

We make 4 pieces and eat two for dinner and put the other two in the fridge for later. 4 pieces will serve 3 or 4 people.
