• Add to the slow cooker with 3 mixed colour peppers, cut into chunks and 150g pitted Spanish pimento stuffed green olives.
• Tip 300ml dry white wine, 300ml chicken stock and 1 tbsp tomato purée into the pan.

• Garnish with olives, if using, and pass hot pepper sauce, if using.
• TIP: If you are in a hurry, skip browning the chicken.
• Just make sure that all the skin is removed; otherwise the dish will be too fatty.
• *Saffron is a pungent, bittersweet spice garnered from a particular kind of crocus.
• Buy saffron in threads, not powder, preferably from a reputable purveyor.
• Turmeric can be used to convey the saffron color in a dish, but it will not replicate the unique and haunting flavour of the original.
