This is another recipe from “Modern homemade cuisine” book which I mastered. This dish goes great for dinner and leftovers can be warmed up for lunch.
Chicken is served with cauliflower so there is no need to cook separate side dish unless you want to.
Important note: when cooking chicken with sauce make sure it simmers slow, because sauce has flour and it will burn on high heat.
Ingredients:
2lb of chicken thighs
2lb-2.5lb of cauliflower
4 tomatoes
2 onions
2 tbsp of all purpose flour
2 cups of water
1/3 cups of oil
Salt to taste
Paprika to taste
How to prepare, step-by-step:
Prepare ingredients: if you use other chicken parts than thighs you may need to adjust cooking time accordingly:
Rinse chicken and pat dry with paper towels; warm up frying pan with all oil over moderate heat, fry all chicken thighs from both sides until brown colored, move ready chicken to a plate, leave oil in:
Peel and chop both onions, add to the frying pan with oil where chicken was fried in, reduce heat to low and fry onions until soft:
Grate tomatoes on big slots of grater and add to onions:
Salt to taste and season with paprika, mix:
Move tomato and onion sauce to the pot (if you have cast iron one – use it):
Add chicken thighs you fried earlier:
Add water so the chicken if is mostly covered (but not too much, or you will get too much of sauce); cover with a lid, put on low heat burner and simmer it until chicken is soft (mine took about 20 mins):
Separate cauliflower in florets of the same size and rinse:
When chicken if ready, add cauliflower florets to the pot, cover with a lid again, and cook until cauliflower is soft but not overcooked (10-15 mins):
Serve chicken together with cauliflower florets as a side dish, pour sauce over:
