Ingredients

    2 tbsp of Italian ‘00’ flour  

   8 chicken thighs, bone &amp; skin on or off, depending on preference  

   45ml of olive oil  

   2 celery sticks, finely chopped  

   1 carrot, diced  

   1 red onion, diced  

   150g of chestnut mushrooms, coarsely chopped  

   1 garlic clove, crushed  

   45ml of white wine vinegar  

   2 fresh rosemary sprigs, leaves finely chopped  

   1 tsp of fresh oregano  

   3 fresh bay leaves (or 2 dried)  

   90ml of cup Italian passata  

   6 potatoes, peeled &amp; quartered  

   1 handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped  

   Sea salt &amp; freshly ground black pepper  

 



  

 



Method

 Step 1 

Put the flour on a plate and season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and toss to coat evenly.



 Step 2 

Set a flameproof casserole dish over a medium heat, add the olive oil and heat gently. Add the flour-dusted chicken, cook for 8-10 minutes until coloured all over, then remove from the casserole dish.



 Step 3 

Add more oil to the casserole dish if necessary, then add the celery, carrot, onion, mushrooms and garlic and cook for 5 minutes until lightly golden. Return the chicken to the dish and add the vinegar, herbs, passata, potatoes and 500ml of cold water. Season well with salt and pepper.



 Step 4 

Simmer gently, covered, for 45 minutes, checking that the casserole is not drying up and stirring it periodically to avoid it catching on the bottom of the dish.



 Step 5 

Serve the casserole spooned into soup plates, garnished with parsley and accompany with focaccia or crusty bread to mop up the juices – in Italy this is know as fare la scarpetta.
