Ingredients

• 500 g chicken drumsticks
• 400 g peeled canned tomatoes
• 2 red onions
• 300 g peeled carrots

• a knob of butter

Instructions

1. 1

   1. Heat the oil in the pan and brown the chicken drumsticks for about 10 minutes. Make sure to turn them regularly. After 10 minutes, remove the chicken with tongs and set aside.2. Crush the garlic, finely chop the red onion and parsley, and roughly chop the carrot and celery. Melt the butter in the same pan the chicken just came out of (don’t rinse it — you want to keep the flavours) and sauté the onion until translucent. Add the garlic, cook for a minute, then add the carrot and celery. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Now add the canned tomatoes (including their juice), the tomato paste, the wine and the parsley. Stir and bring to the boil.3. Place the drumsticks back in the pan, put the lid on and let everything simmer on medium heat for at least 45 minutes. The flavours will soak into the chicken. Since you’ll also end up with a very tasty sauce, this dish is ideal to serve with cooked pasta and, for example, some grilled vegetables (or a nice salad). Enjoy!
