I’ve tried many times to recreate this sauce from memories of bliss visits to Nonna and Nonna’s house. The entire house would be filled of the wonderful smell of this sauce and an instant hunger would suddenly appear! One to be shared with those you love
Ingredients
3 chicken Maryland’s, skin on and on the bone
2 bottles of passata
1/2 cup of olive oil
Sprig of fresh oregano or a teaspoon of dried
2 tablespoons tomato paste
Salt
Method
In a deep pot, place a few tablespoons of the oil and heat. Brown off all sides of the chicken until coloured
Add all of the remaining ingredients to the pot with a pinch of salt and bring to a simmer over a medium heat.
Turn down slightly and allow the sauce to cook for a minimum of 2 hours, until the meat is falling away from the bone. [don’t forget to taste and season and taste again with a cheeky slice of bread]
Remove the chicken from the pot and cook down if the sauce still needs to be thickened to serve with your pasta of choice! Don’t forget to serve the delicious chicken too
