Pollo alla Cacciatore, Hunter-Style Chicken

For tonight's dinner, I returned to La Cucina: The Regional Cooking of Italy for Pollo alla Cacciatore, Hunter-Style Chicken. There a a couple of recipes for Cacciatore in the cookbook, but this is our favorite.

Pollo alla Cacciatore, Hunter-Style Chicken

Ingredients-
2 tbsp. Unsalted butter
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 chicken, cut in pieces 
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 lb. Plum tomatoes, peeled and chopped (I used a can of crushed tomatoes)
1 red pepper; cleaned of seeds and chopped
Salt and pepper 


Method- Heat the butter and olive oil in a pan and add the onion. When it is golden, add the chicken pieces and let them brown. Pour in the wine, add the tomatoes and peppers, adjust the salt and pepper. Cover and cook at low heat until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes.

Pollo All Cacciatora, Hunter-Style Chicken

This is one of our favorite meals. The recipe is from La Cucina, The Regional Cooking of Italy. I made it for the first time back in January. The polenta was the perfect side. I love the instant polenta.

Hunter-Style Chicken

This evening I went to a cooking demonstration at Quattros in Guilford. For $40 the chef demonstrated the preparation of a Stuffed Shrimp appetizer, Gnocchi with Vodka Sauce, Tilapia Florentine and Vanilla Crepes. He prepared each meal at a large table with all of us gathered around and then we were served each dish. Just to see how he made the gnocchi was worth the price. Interestingly he uses a recipe very close to the one I use. which uses baked potatoes! Anyway more on that when I prepare the dishes for Chris.

Meanwhile, Chris was home this evening with a pan of Hunter-Style Chicken. And guess where the recipe was from.... La Cucina. I had made this back in January. There are 3 versions of this recipe but we both loved this one so at some point I will try the other two.

I think a pink nosed kitty would like to try some of that chicken!
