This traditional Romanian dish is easy to make and doesn't require too many ingredients.
Today we'll be cooking chicken ragout, a traditional Romanian dish that is easy to prepare since you don't need too many ingredients. You can prepare this dish in your own kitchen or in the open air, in a clay pot over charcoals, just as the people who toiled the land used to do in the past.
For this recipe you need several chicken thighs, although drumsticks are equally good. You also need two onions, several garlic cloves, several tomatoes or tomato juice, oil, a little white wine, one bay leaf, pepper, thyme, a bunch of parsley and salt.
Wash the chicken cuts, drain and then brown them in oil in a frying pan or a Dutch oven. Julienne the onions and brown in a little oil, then add in the tomatoes cut into small cubes or the tomato juice, the thyme twig, the bay leaf and several pepper grains. Place the mixture into a bowl and then add the browned chicken cuts. Add water or possibly a glass of wine and simmer over low heat until the liquid is diminished.
Before turning off the heat, add several finely-chopped garlic cloves, chopped parsley leaves and salt to taste. The chicken ragout can be cooked either on the heater or in the oven. Serve with polenta and pickles. Enjoy!
