Pollo alla cacciatora - the literal meaning of cacciatore is 'hunter', which means that the dish is prepared 'hunter-style'. This kind of cooking is very popular with chicken and rabbit.
The chicken is first seared, then a few simple ingredients such as onion, garlic, celery and carrots are added and fried for a little while before red wine and tomatoes are added and left cooking for at least 30 minutes. So, have a go at this recipe and let me know what you think and if you have done it before, do you do it any different or just the same as me?
