My wife makes great Basque Chicken

A truly scrumptious dish.

I asked her how to make it.

It goes a bit like this.

---

She likes to use a recipe

She took from Delia Smith

Chicken thighs and olives

Pepper, baked with rice.

Plus chorizo sausage

And paprika to spice.

---

First you take your chicken joints

My wife prefers the thighs.

Sprinkle salt and pepper

To season them all well.

---

Now prepare the peppers

Slice them into strips

Carefully remove the seeds

And put them to one side.

---

Now you take some olive oil

And gently fry the chicken

Just to brown them overall

And get them nicely golden.

---

---

Now put the chicken to one side

Add peppers and some onion

Chuck the whole lot in the pan

And fry it all five minutes.

---

Chorizo now goes in the pan

And then sun dried tomatoes

Now you put the chicken back

Add rice to other ingredients

Stir it up and coat the rice

Suck up all the goodness.

---

Now add other ingredients

Tomato paste, paprika

and a little thyme.

Then you have to add some stock

Just a little wine.

---

---

Special edit at this point

Forgot to add the chicken!!!

---

Bring it to a boiling point

Then let it simmer down

Cook on low heat for an hour

Then it will be done.

---

Though we prefer

It oven cooked

And use a casserole.

---

A really sumptuous tasty dish

And great for dinner parties

Easier than I made it sound
