Ingredients (2 people):
- 1 piece of chicken per person.
- 2 medium onions.
- 2 carrots cut into strips.
- 3 sprigs of parseley.
- 2 whole gloves of garlic.
- Salt.
- 65 grams of Green peas.
- 1 potato per person.
- ají paste to taste.
- 4 tomatos finely chopped.
- 1 lettuce leaf per person.
- 1 boiled egg per person.
- Water.
Method:
1- Put in a big saucepan meat, onion cut in pieces, carrot cut in stripes, parsley, garlic and salt. Add water until meat is completly covered. Cook for 40 minutes or until meat is done.
2- Take a smaller saucepan, pour some spoonful of the chicken broth and add Green peas, cook for 10 or 15 minutes.
3- Put aside the Green peas and use the same saucepan to cook potatos and eggs. Cook them until potatos are soft.
4- Peel tomatos; the easiest way to do it is drawing a circumference on the surface of the tomato with the help of a knife. Boil water in a saucepan, once reached boiling point, bath tomatos in the boiling water during 20 seconds, use a skimmer to take them out of the water. Let tomatos get cold and you will see how easy they can be peeled!.
5- Cut the remaining onion in little pieces and saute it in a saucepan, until it gets brown.
6- Cut tomato into little pieces, add it to the onion, add salt.
Let it cook for half an hour at medium heat. It is not a tomato sauce, just the pieces of tomato well done will be the side dish.
