My husband's family came from Cuba 25 years ago, and this is his favorite meal. Serve with frijoles negros and arros blanco (black beans and rice).

Time 1h

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
½ large red bell pepper, diced
½ red onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, smashed
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cups water, or as needed
6 skinless chicken leg quarters, separated into thighs and drumsticks
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a pressure cooker over medium heat. Stir in red bell pepper and onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until golden.
  • Dissolve tomato paste in 1 cup water and pour it into the pressure cooker. Place chicken thighs and drumsticks in the pan so the pieces are evenly spaced. Add enough water so that the chicken is nearly covered.
  • Seal the pressure cooker and bring up to pressure over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, maintaining full pressure; cook for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow the pressure to drop naturally, about 20 minutes. Season chicken with salt to taste.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my sauce didn't thicken up. It was still delicious, but it wasn't as creamy as I expected.

I didn't have any white wine on hand, so I used chicken broth instead. The sauce was still flavorful, but it didn't have the same depth of flavor as it would have with white wine.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I used almond milk instead of heavy cream. The sauce was still delicious and creamy.
