1 ts Extra light olive oil with a dash of sesame oil
1 tb Fresh sliced parsley
1 tb + 1 tsp fresh minced oregano leaves
1 c Black olives
1/2 ts Freshly ground black pepper
2 c Chicken stock
4 oz Spiral pasta
12 oz Jerusalem artichokes; peeled and coarsely sliced
Directions
Step #1 Pre-heat the oven to 220C.
Step #2 Put the chicken pieces on a rack in a roasting pan & bake for 50 mins.
Step #3 Pour the oil into a large saucepan over medium/high heat & fry the onions & garlic until translucent - about 4 mins.
Step #4 stir in the the tomato paste until completely incorporated, turn up the heat a notch, allowing the natural sugars in the tomato paste to go light brown and caramelise - about 10 mins.
Step #5 Pour in the stock, 1tbsp of the oregano, 1 c of the wine, artichokes, half of the black pepper & the salt, cover & let simmer for 8 mins.
Step #6 While everything else is cooking, cook the pasta according to package directions until just tender - about 9 mins.
Step #7 Add the cooked pasta & olives to the sauce & heat through.
Step #8 Remove the chicken from the oven & transfer to a flat surface.
Step #9 Pour off the excess fat from the pan, put on the stovetop, add the remaining wine & scrape up the residues.
Step #10 pour this into a fat strainer jug.
Step #11 Allow the fat to rise to the top & pour the rest of the liquid into the sauce.
Step #12 Remove the skin from the cooked chicken, using a bowl of ice water to cool down your fingers.
Step #13 It's about 3 seconds between dips for normal, 4 seconds for macho & 5 seconds for super macho.
Step #14 I must say that tongs don't do a good job, get in & let your fingers do the working.
Step #15 Separate into major meat pieces according to muscle lines & add to the sauce.
Step #16 stir in the the remaining oregano & pepper.
Step #17 To serve, spoon into individual bowls & garnish with parsley.
