Mangiare cacciatore

From the last post, here I will introduce a dish using the tomato sauce.

Chicken cacciatore inspired meal.

Chicken cacciatore is hunter style chicken, usually with garlic,onion, bell peppers and tomato, wine.

I used one more veggetable, zucchini for the colour(actually it stayed in my fridge for few days that's why).

First,here is a bit out of subject, about buying meats.

I will recommend you to buy meats from butcheries, the meats taste much, much better than at supermarkets. Don't worry about it will cost a bit higher than at super markets -  the taste will make you really happy and you will appreciate about what you are eating.

Second, the recipe..

Checken thights with born and skin about 100-120g

Salt+Pepper

Flour about 3 Tbsp

Olive oil about 2Tbsp

Garlic 1clove

Onion 1/4 diced small

Yellow or red pepper 1/3 diced small

Zucchini (optional) 1 inch, diced small

Tomato sauce(see the last post) half of the recipe

White wine about 30ml

Bay leave 1

Salt+Pepper the chicken and dust with flour.

Pan fry the chicken with oil until both surface gets golden, remove the meat from the pan, keep the oil.

Put onion in the pan and stair it until it become transparent.

Put other vegetables, stir it few minutes and put Tomato sauce and white wine, bay leave and move them into a small pot.

Put the chicken in the pot, braise for 30 min, finish with salt and pepper.

Third, the photos..

Dust,salt and pepper the chicken.

 Chopping with drinking.Don't drink too much..

Nice colouration.

 This wine.Too smooth to drink..I didn't get drunk, though.

Mangiare!

I served with millet with beans this time, I felt the cacciatore is too rich for the millet ,it is better fitting with pasta.

First post

I launched this blog to show off how  I enjoy bachelorette living..Kidding.
I just found out cooking is one of events to enjoy staying at home by myself.
When I was looking at recipes, I often felt that those recipes are too big amount or take too much time to cook for one person.
So that I decided to share easy and fun recipes for single living folks.(If you have family, just times the number please! )Easy but everything from scratch.

First post is..Tomato sauce.
When I feel like lazy to make dinner or lunch, as most of people do, I go pasta.
You want to buy a bottle of tomato sauce?You should start to make time for your own sauce instead of buying it.
Once you had good sauces, your food life will be more awesome.
Tomato sauce is the simplest sauce in the world, it reminds me Japanese dashi sauce.Only few ingredients can make difference for the meal.
You can keep it in a fridge for few days, or you can keep it in a freezer for a week.
