• Place in a glass baking dish and add the onion, carrots, bay leaf, rosemary and wine.

POLLO CRIOLLO (DOMINICAN CHICKEN)

Steps:

• Mix the garlic, nutmeg, salt and pepper together with the vinegar and white wine. Whisk in the olive oil. Add the chicken pieces, turning to coat well. Marinate in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
• Remove the chicken, wipe off excess marinade and pat dry. Lightly dust each piece with the seasoned flour. Over medium-high heat, warm half of the olive oil in a nonstick skillet. Add the chicken and cook for 10 minutes. Turn and cook for 10 more minutes.

• In a heavy casserole over medium heat, warm the remaining quarter cup of olive oil. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes, stirring to avoid burning. Add the shallots and garlic and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add the broth resulting from the deglazing, as well as the tomato puree, and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the olives, sun-dried tomatoes and capers and stir. Simmer for a minute or 2, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
• Add the chicken, turning each piece so that it is covered as much as possible. Cover and simmer over low heat for 40 to 50 minutes, until a fork inserted into the thigh yields clear juice. Serve with beans and rice.
