Instructions
For Marisa's Mother-in-Law's Recipe
- Warm the oil in a cooking pot and add to it the onions, garlic and red pepper. From time to time mix them up till they turn to golden.
- Add the thighs, paprika and tomato paste, mix every thing. Cook the thighs till the flesh becomes white (three to five minutes)
- Only then add water (not much - just enough to cover the thighs) plus the bouillon cubes. Cover the pot, reduce the flame (after the water boiled) and cook for 1 hour.
For Chef Ricco's Reinterpretation
