👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Season chicken pieces generously with salt and black pepper.
💡 전문가 팁: Allow chicken to sit with seasoning for at least 15 minutes.
2
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear chicken pieces on all sides until golden brown. Remove chicken and set aside.
3
Add chopped onion and bell pepper to the pot. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
4
Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
5
Add tomato paste and recado rojo. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes to deepen the flavors.
6
Return the seared chicken to the pot. Pour in chicken broth, add allspice berries and thyme sprigs. Bring to a simmer.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure chicken is mostly submerged in liquid.
7
Cover the pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 1 hour, or until chicken is tender.
8
Add carrots and potatoes to the pot. Continue to simmer, covered, for another 20-30 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
💡 전문가 팁: Adjust liquid if sauce becomes too thick.
9
Remove thyme sprigs and allspice berries before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
💡 전문가 팁: The sauce should be rich and slightly thickened.
