Fricassee chicken
4 servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Chicken - (4 lbs); cut 8 serving pieces | |
| 1 | Juice of 1 lime | |
| 2 | mediums | Yellow onions; peeled and sliced |
| 2 | Tomatoes; red ripe, coarsely chopped | |
| 3 | Garlic cloves; peeled and crushed | |
| 3 | Scallions; chopped | |
| 1½ | teaspoon | Dried thyme; whole |
| 1 | teaspoon | Salt |
| ½ | teaspoon | Freshly-ground black pepper |
| 2 | tablespoons | Peanut oil |
| ½ | cup | Water |
Directions
Toss all the ingredients except the peanut oil and water in a large bowl and marinate for ½ hour. Drain the chicken, reserving the marinade and vegetables. Brown the chicken in a non-stick frying pan, using the oil. You should probably do this in two batches. Place the chicken in a 6- to 8-quart stove-top casserole and add the reserved marinade, including the vegetables, plus ½ cup of water. Cover and simmer 1 hour. Add more salt and pepper to taste. This recipe serves 4.
Comments: This is another classic from the Island. It is served in Jamaica and in Brooklyn with the same degree of pride. It is not overspicy, but the flavor is rich.
