Equipment

  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 cutting knife
  • 1 chopping board
  • 1 large, deep heavy-based frying pan

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 4 chicken thighs, boned
  • 750 ml chicken stock
  • 2 tsp fresh rosemary
  • 1 onion
  • 1/2 tsp cooking salt
  • 1/2 tsp dried chilli optional
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 lemon
  • 2 handfuls risoni
  • 700 grams tomatoes
  • 300 grams green beans (stringless)

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil in the saucepan over medium heat. Cook the thighs until amost browned through.
  • Meanwhile, chop the onion & rosemary then score the tomatoes at one end (this is so the skins slip off easily).
  • Remove the chicken to a separate plate. Add the onion to the pan.
  • Cook the onion for a few minutes without browning it. Then add the rosemary, chilli and salt. Cook a further few minutes.
  • Add the scored tomatoes to the pan, put the lid on, and continue cooking until a sauce develops and the skins slip off (about 45 minutes). Stir regularly to make sure sure it doesn't catch, and add water intermittently if required.
  • Add the wine and chicken stock, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
  • Return the chicken to the pan, and simmer a further 15 minutes. Stir continually so it doesn't catch, and make sure there is enough sauce with which to cook the risoni.
  • Add the risoni to the pan, squeeze the lemon over it then mix through.
  • Put the lid back on and cook a further 3-4minutes until the risoni softens.
  • Serve with crusty bread.
