Another favourite from Jamie at Home, cooked by David using courgettes from the garden, delicious.

Recipe is available on Jamie Oliver’s website

Pollo alla Cacciatora (Hunter’s Chicken Stew) (Serves 4)

A great traditional recipe, from Jamie's Italy, published in the Guardian, which is where I first found the recipe.

1 Chicken, jointed,
8 bay leaves, 2 sprigs rosemary,
3 cloves of garlic – 1 crushed, 2 sliced,
1/2 a bottle of Chianti,
6 Anchovy fillets
Handful of stoned green and black olives
2 x 400g tin of plum tomatoes.

Season chicken with salt & black pepper.
Add bay leaves, rosemary, crushed garlic & the wine.
Leave overnight to marinate.

Remove chicken, pat dry, dust with flour, then in oven proof dish brown the chicken all over and put aside.
Fry garlic till golden brown, add anchovies, olives & tomatoes (broken up), chicken & marinade. Bring to boil, cover and put in oven for 1 1/2 hours.

Skim off oil, stir, season, remove bay and rosemary, serve with salad or cannellini beans.
