On a cold day, you feel the need to eat something "with soul", something to warm you up inside and enjoy t. This dish is actually a Romanian old recipe that I saw my grandmother make, just that she used preserved vegetables (that pasta made from peppers, tomatoes and carrots). You can serve with mashed potatoes and polenta, as desired.
What we need (for 4 people):
chicken: boneless legs, chest (about 1 kg)
1 red pepper de-seeded and diced
2-3 ripe tomatoes with no skin, cleaned and diced (or canned tomatoes)
1 stalk of celery diced
2 large onions diced
3 cloves garlic
1 carrot peeled and grated
1 tablespoon of sweet paprika
chopped parsley
salt pepper to taste
a little oil
mashed potatoes or polenta for serving
How we prepare:
Cut meat into equal strips, wash and set aside. Brown onion in a little oil with the garlic, peppers, carrots and celery. When they have softened add the paprika and tomatoes. Stir well and add the meat. Put about a cup of water and let it simmer on low heat for an hour or until the sauce reduces and becomes a paste. Season with salt and pepper and add chopped parsley. If you prefer, you can add chopped fresh dill. Serve with hot mashed potatoes or polenta made fresh.
