CHICKEN with PAPRIKA & CARDAMOM

Ingredients

1kg Chicken Casserole Pieces on the Bone
1 large onion
2 carrots
2 large, or 4 small, sticks of celery
red wine
water
chopped fresh tarragon
½ tsp ground sweet paprika
15 whole green cardamom pods and the seeds from 4 others
salt & ground black pepper

CHICKEN with PAPRIKA & CARDAMOM

Peel and roughly chop the vegetables into good size pieces. Brown the chicken in small batches and set aside. Sauté the vegetables and add back the chicken. Cover with equal quantities of red wine and water. Add the remaining ingredients. Bring to the boil and cover with a close fitting lid, reduce the heat and simmer for about 1½ hours - until the chicken is tender.

The whole cardamoms are not supposed to be eaten - tell everyone to leave them on the side of the plate.

Hints & Tips
Use a heavy bottomed casserole - not so over large that you have to use copious quantities of liquid.
You will achieve an aromatic, fragrant dish.
The sauce should not be thickened or reduced - but mopped up with rice or bread.
