I came across this dish in a book. A woman travelling in Italy got to know a single elderly woman, and she was invited to dinner. Nonna, the elderly woman, cooked a chicken dish. In the book, there was a brief description how she cooked the dish, then I tried it for myself. It was decades ago…
This is a winter dish for me. I have cooked this dish countless times because it is so easy and yummy, and these days I often add herbs such as Bay Leaf, Sage, Thyme, Lemon Rind, etc. But the original recipe was very simple, just like the Italian Nonna cooked for the traveller.
