Ossetian chicken and potatoes cooked in sour cream served on a plate
In this recipe from Ossetia we show how to make chicken with sour cream and herbs. This dish is usually made in a large clay pot, using a whole young chicken. We used a clay pot but the dish can also be made in a pan or in individual small clay pots. We used chicken breasts instead of a whole chicken.
Ingredients:
1kg of chicken breasts, washed and cut into bite-sized pieces
500g of potatoes, peeled and chopped
3 medium onions, peeled and cut into chunks
300g of sour cream
2 garlic cloves
25g of fresh green coriander, chopped
20g of fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp (level) of freshly-ground black pepper
1 tsp (level) of summer savoury
salt, to taste
Method:
Put the chicken pieces in a large, deep, clay pot (otherwise use an flame-proof earthenware casserole). Next add in the onions, potatoes and 1l of water.
Cook over low-medium heat for 30 minutes.
In the meantime, grind together the garlic and salt in a mortar until you have a paste. Add the chopped coriander and pound to a paste.
After 30 minutes take the pot off the heat and add in the sour cream and black pepper then season to taste with salt.
Cook for 5 minutes over medium heat then add the parsley, summer savoury and the garlic and coriander paste.
Allow to warm through then turn into a warmed bowl and serve.
