italian cooking made easy

   time: 1 hour    level: easy   Ingredients for 2 persons: see picture! 1 guinea fowl 1 onion 1 carrot celery 1 or 2 clove garlic 4 or 5 bay leaf rosemary  sage some juniper berries salt pepper  olive oil  Chop all the vegetables and add with some olive oil in a frying pan. Add salt and pepper to guinea fowl in pieces and place the pieces on top of the vegetables. Let the whole thing simmer for at least 45 minutes on a very low flame, mixing the meat and the vegetables every once and a while. Add very little water, only if needed. The idea is that the meat and the vegetables should blend together nicely, without becoming to watery, neither should they roast. Of course see the picture above; this is how it should look!! Buon appetito, Peter.

Today i prepared chicken legs in tomato sauce. for 2 persons; I fried 1/2 onion, 1 pc. garlic and some chili. After a few minutes added 2 tbl. spoons of red wine and cooked until evaporated. Then added 1/2 liter tomato passata plus a tbl. spoon of origano, 1 bay leaf, some rosemary and a little salt. Bring to boil and add chicken legs (4 to 6). Simmer for at least 45 minutes, until the sauce is not watery anymore, but dense. I served with rice, garnished with 1 tomato and we drank a glas of good cabernet wine from our Veneto region. Buon appetito!!
