Fettuccine Con Pollo Alla Romana Food

ROMAN CHICKEN RECIPE (POLLO ALLA ROMANA)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 225°C (435°F).
• Place the bell peppers on an ovenproof tray and rub them with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil.
• Place the tray in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the skin starts turning dark.
• Once the peppers are cool enough to handle, remove the skin, membrane and seeds and cut them lengthwise, 1/2 inch wide. Set aside.
• While the peppers are in the oven though, you can proceed with the rest of the steps.
• Season the chopped chicken with salt and pepper --- generously.
• Heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat.
• Once the oil is ready, start browning the chicken. Do this in batches to leave enough space between the pieces of chicken.
• Take the browned chicken out of the pan and set them aside.
• Once you have finished with the chicken, adjust heat to medium. Add garlic and onion.
• Cook until the onion has softened a bit, then add prosciutto and mix.
• Add the chicken back into the pan.
• Add salt, pepper, peperoncino, tomato paste, and tomatoes. Mix to combine.
• Add torn basil leaves and mix.
• Adjust the heat back into medium-high and cover the pan with a lid.
• Bring to a boil. Adjust the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked.
• Take the pan out of the heat and add the chopped, roasted peppers.
• Drizzle with the balsamic vinegar and mix to combine.
• Serve your roman chicken, and add more fresh basil, if preferred.

FETTUCCINE CON POLLO ALLA ROMANA

Steps:

• Roast the peppers over a high flame so that the skin blisters and can be easily removed. You can omit this step but peeling makes the peppers easier to digest.
• Cut the peppers into strips.
• Heat the oil and gently brown the chopped onion and the garlic. Add the chicken pieces and brown them on all sides.
• Mix the tomato paste with the stock and add to chicken along with the wine.
• Add the sliced peppers and cook slowly (medium low) to create a thick sauce (1 1/2 hours). If sauce is getting to dry then add a little more stock. Season to taste.
• Cook the pasta in boiling salted water, drain and stir in the chicken and sauce. Serve at once.

TRIPE ALLA ROMANA

Steps:

• Trim any fat from tripe, then rinse tripe under cold water. Soak tripe in a large bowl of fresh cold water 1 hour, then rinse again.
• Put tripe in an 8-quart pot of cold water and bring to a boil, then drain and rinse. Bring tripe to a boil again in pot filled with fresh cold water, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, turning tripe occasionally and adding more hot water to pot if necessary to keep tripe covered, until very tender, about 4 hours (tripe will have a strong aroma while simmering). Drain in a colander and cool completely.
• While tripe is cooking, heat olive oil in a 6- to 8-quart heavy pot over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook onion, carrots, celery, and garlic, stirring frequently, until softened, about 8 minutes. Add salt, pepper, and wine and boil, stirring, 1 minute. Pour juice from tomatoes into sauce, then chop tomatoes and add to sauce with the 2 cups cold water and mint. Simmer sauce, uncovered, 30 minutes.
• Trim any remaining fat from tripe and cut tripe into 2- by 1/2-inch strips. Add to sauce and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tripe is a little bit more tender but still slightly chewy, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Season with salt and pepper.
• Serve tripe sprinkled with finely grated Pecorino Romano cheese and additional chopped fresh mint. Serves 4 main-course servings.
• Notes: Tripe in sauce can be cooked 2 days ahead and chilled, covered. Reheat before serving. Tripe is excellent served over pasta.
• That's it!
