Ingredients

3 tbs liquamen (Asian fish sauce)

1 1/2 tbs olive oil

1 cup fruity white wine

1/2 tsp white pepper corns

3/8 cup pine nuts

crushed whites of two hard-boiled eggs

1/4 cup cooking liquid (juice from cooked chicken)

1/4 cup milk (for a stiff sauce)

1/2 cup milk (for a more liquid sauce)

Directions

Cook 3 lbs of chicken (with bone) in the first 3 liquids.

After the chicken is done, pour off cooking liquid and reserve.

For white sauce, combine the remaining ingredients in a sauce pan.

Cook, stirring constantly for a smooth sauce.

Pour sauce over chicken on a platter and serve.

Note: free-range chicken is closest to what Romans would have eaten.
