Smoky Iberian Chicken Food

SMOKY CHICKEN, BEAN & KALE STEW

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large casserole pan. Tip in the chicken and cook for a few minutes each side until golden brown - do this in batches so you don't overcrowd the pan. Remove the chicken and set aside.
• Put the pancetta in the pan and cook for 5 mins until starting to crisp. Push to one side and add the onion, cooking until softened, about 8 mins. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 1 min.
• Add the paprika, bay, vinegar, tomatoes and sugar, then crumble in the stock cube. Add two cans full of water (800ml), season well and return the chicken to the pan. Cover and simmer over a low heat for 30 mins - bubbles should only break the surface now and then.
• Uncover the pan and cook for another 30 mins until the stew has reduced to a rich broth. The tomatoes should have brokendown by now, but if they're still quite chunky, squash them with the back of a wooden spoon. Use two forks to pull apart the larger chunks of chicken.
• Stir the beans and kale into the stew, cover with a lid and cook for 5 mins to wilt the kale and heat the beans through. Serve in deep bowls with chunks of garlic bread and a drizzle of good extra virgin olive oil, if you like. To freeze the stew, leave to cool completely, then transfer to a freezerproof container. Will keep for up to three months. Defrost thoroughly, then reheat until piping hot.

SMOKY IBERIAN CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix brine ingredients and submerge chicken in the liquid. Allow about 30 minutes per pound for the brining.
• The smoked tomato recipe is number 117225 or number 181924. Use a mild wood, I like alder for this recipe.
• Combine all the tomatos in a bowl with the wine, garlic, cinnamon, saffron and pimenton. Mix well and cover until needed.
• Remove chicken from the brine, dry well and brown thoroughly in a heavy pan using some of the oil.
• Remove the chicken.
• Scrape the pan bottom, add some more oil if needed and dump in the onions and pepper strips, stirring to coat. Add oil as necessary but don't get it mushy from too much. It will end up as grease when the dish is finished.
• Caramelize the vegetables.
• Keeping heat up, add the tomato mixture. Reduce heat to simmer and cover.
• Simmer for about 30 minutes until the sauce has come together and reduced a bit.
• Return the chicken to the sauce, covering the pieces as much as possible. Place the mushroom strips over the chicken.
• Keeping heat very low, cover tightly and simmer until the chicken is fork-tender and the sauce is a consistency pleasing to you, anywhere from very thick to thin, it's your call. (If you are serving this with rice, thinner is better. If it's a stand-alone with oven roasted potatos or something like that, make it thick so the sauce clings to the meat.).
