Pollo al Ajillo Peruvian - recipe


This of course is the Peruvian version of the Spanish dish

Chicken with Garlic Sauce

3lb. chicken cut into pieces
6 cloves of garlic sliced
1 tbsp. ginger minced
1/2 cup white wine
1 onion cut into strips
to taste - salt, black pepper, parsley (chopped)
oil

1. Season the chicken with salt
2. Place oil in saute pan and heat
3. brown chicken on both sides and remove from pan
4. In the same pan add a little more oil saute the garlic and the ginger until soft and golden.
5. Then add the onion to the pan, cook until translucent
6. Add the white wine to the pan carefully.
7. Now place chicken in the wine/onion mixture
8. cover and cook on low heat for about 20 mins.
9. Add a tbsp. of chopped parsley
10. Cook uncovered until chicken starts browning again. You may want to turn up the end to get a nice brown colour.
11. Sprinkle chopped parsley and serve

You could pair this dish with a Gewurtztraminer which would amplify the flavours of the ginger. Also, you could also use this wine to add to the food.
