Chicken in Tomato Sauce (Pollo en salsa de Tomate)
Ingredients: 1medium chicken; 1 large onion, grated; 1
red spicy pepper; several cloves garlic, cut into tiny cubes;
3-4 cups of tomato sauce; pinch of salt; Lime or lemon; oil
Preparation: Cut the chicken into pieces. Rub each piece
with lemon or lime and sprinkle with salt.
Heat some oil in a pan and fry the chicken pieces. Remove
the chicken pieces and sauté the garlic a little, add the
onion, and simmer for 10-15 minutes on a low heat
(sprinkle some water to prevent the sofrito dries up).
Finally, add the tomato sauce, simmer for 2/3 minutes and
add the chicken pieces. Simmer all for about 15-20 mins on
a low heat, taking care the tomato sauce doesn’t dry up
(use a lid to diminish evaporation; sprinkle some water on
the preparation, etc). You can also add some fried potatoes
(cut into chunks and deep-fried) when the chicken is
finished.
