To kick off my blog, I decided to go with one of mom's most exquisite dishes, the fricase de pollo or chicken fricassee, also one of the most popular recipes in Cuba.
This recipe dates its origins to ancient Rome, when the Romans occupied the French provinces of Gaul, back in the first century B.C. It is also told it was a preferred dish by many U.S. presidents. The Cuban style fricase de pollo adds a lot of the typical Caribbean flavors. It usually serves 4-8 people.
Ingredients:
- 8 pieces of drumstick chicken
- Complete seasoning
- Ground cumin
- Bitter orange marinade
- Wine
- 3 medium size potatoes
- 1/2 can of tomato sauce
- 1/2 onion
- 5 pieces of garlic teeth
- 1/3 green pepper
Preparation:
- Get the 8 pieces of drumstick chicken and put them in an empty contained to be seasoned.
- Pour 4 tablespoons of the bitter orange to the pieces of chicken.
- Shred the onion and garlic teeth in the machine and cut the slices of pepper in smaller pieces.
- Mis the condiments with the chicken that is on the recipient and add 3 tablespoons of complete seasoning and 1 tablespoon of ground cumin.
- Fry the chicken in the frying pan until it gets golden colored.
- Insert the chicken in the pressure cooker.
- Pour 4 tablespoons of wine to the chicken and 6 tablespoons of tomato sauce. Do not add water.
- Close the pot and leave cooking for 15 minutes on medium high intensity.
