Chicken in wine with prunes
 
 
  1 medium-size chicken (1½ kilos), cut into small portions (about 10)
24 button onions
24 prunes, stoned
1 carrot, finely sliced
2 sprigs celery, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic
½ teaspoonful coriander powder
3 seeds allspice
salt, pepper
1 tumbler mature dry red wine
½ teacupful olive oil
 
Heat the oil in a deep pan and fry the garlic till dark brown, then take it out and discard.
Sauté the onions in the same oil for 2-3 minutes. Remove, strain and put aside on a plate.
Put the chicken portions, prunes, celery and carrot all together in the pan and sauté for 5 minutes. Place the onions on top and quench with wine.
Bring to the boil and add the spices and salt. Turn down the heat, put on the lid and leave the dish to stew for about 50 minutes.
Best served with a starch garnish, such as rice or mashed potatoes.
   
A classic dish of great gastronomic interest. If it is cooked with good wine, it’s even more interesting. It is enhanced by a hint of garlic, which combines beautifully with the whole.
