Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 to 4 pounds chicken pieces (we like bone in thighs)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion (sliced thinly)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 1/2 cups red wine
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cups tomatoes (crushed)
3 tablespoons brandy
3 tablespoons honey
1 cinnamon stick (about 2 inches long)
3 cloves (whole)
2 bay leaves
Salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)
Garnish: grated Kefalotyri or parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Clean the chicken pieces , remove excess fat and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Heat olive oil and butter in a large dutch oven .
  • Add chicken pieces to the pot and brown (skin side down) over medium-high heat until nicely browned. You may need to do this in two batches depending on the size of your pot.
  • Remove chicken from the pot and transfer to a platter. I prefer to remove and discard the skin from the chicken pieces.
  • Using a large spoon, remove all but two tablespoons of the fat and oil.
  • Add onions to the pot and saute until tender.
  • Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add wine, tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, brandy, honey, cinnamon stick, cloves, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Allow sauce to come to a boil and then lower heat to a low simmer.
  • Return chicken to the pot (with juices) and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
  • Cover and simmer for approximately 1 hour.
  • If the sauce appears to be too thin, you can simmer uncovered in the last 10 minutes of cooking to reduce it a bit. Stir occasionally to circulate the ingredients. Serve over cooked pasta or orzo and sprinkle with grated cheese.

GREEK CHICKEN STEW WITH CAULIFLOWER AND OLIVES



Greek Chicken Stew With Cauliflower and Olives image

Chicken, cauliflower, olives, tomatoes, feta - this is a stew of extraordinary flavor and complexity, down to its hints of cinnamon and garlic. The recipe uses skinless chicken legs or thighs; you could substitute ones with the skin if you like. (But don't use chicken breasts, which will dry out.) You can use more or less chicken depending on your needs. And, important to note, you can freeze the finished dish, making it an excellent delivery to new parents or anyone in need of a home-cooked meal.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large red onion, chopped
2 to 4 garlic cloves (to taste), minced
6 to 8 chicken legs and/or thighs, skinned
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 28-ounce can chopped tomatoes, with juice, pulsed in a food processor
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, or 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 small or 1/2 large cauliflower, cored, broken into florets, and sliced about 1/2 inch thick
12 kalamata olives (about 45 grams), rinsed, pitted and cut in half (optional)
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 to 2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep, heavy lidded skillet or casserole and brown the chicken, in batches if necessary, about 5 minutes on each side. Remove the pieces to a plate or bowl as they're browned. Pour off the fat from the pan. Add the vinegar to the pan and scrape up all the bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon of the olive oil to the pan, and turn the heat down to medium. Add the onion and a generous pinch of salt and cook, stirring often and scraping the bottom of the pan, until it begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat to low, cover and let the onion cook for 10 minutes, stirring from time to time, until it is lightly browned and very soft.
  • Add the garlic and stir together for a minute or two more, until the garlic is fragrant, then add the tomatoes and their juice, the cinnamon, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer and simmer 10 minutes, stirring from time to time, until the mixture is reduced slightly and fragrant.
  • Return the chicken pieces to the pot, along with any juices that have accumulated in the bowl. If necessary, add enough water to barely cover the chicken. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes.
  • Add the cauliflower and kalamata olives and simmer for another 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and the chicken is just about falling off the bone. Stir in the parsley, taste and adjust seasonings. Serve with grains, with the feta sprinkled on top if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of chicken: For this stew, bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks are the best choices. They will add flavor and richness to the stew.
  • Brown the chicken before stewing: Browning the chicken before adding it to the stew will help to develop its flavor and give it a nice golden color.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onion, but you can also add other vegetables such as potatoes, green beans, or peas.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth is an important part of the stew, so be sure to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, beef broth, or vegetable broth.
  • Season the stew well: Be sure to season the stew well with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender.

Conclusion:

This cinnamon and chicken stew is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The stew is packed with flavor and the chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender. Serve the stew over rice or mashed potatoes and enjoy!
