Chicken with Prunes (à la Eli)

Chicken (legs or other parts)
3 onions or some leek
carrots
Prunes (or other dried fruits, if you like them)
Whisky (only a little glass, let's say 50-100 ml)
Olive oil
Pepper
Herbs

As a side dish, you may have fried vegetables or fried white rice with mushrooms and oil.

1. Heat some olive oil in a big pot.

2. Cut onions or leek and add them into the pot. Let them cook until they become golden.

3. Clean the chicken and add it into the pot too. Let it become golden too, then add some herbs (this will take you around 20 minutes).



4. Once the chicken has got its golden colour you can add the whisky. Then put the lid on and let it cook for 5 to 7 minutes.

5. Add the carrots cut in round slides.

6. Boil the prunes or the other dried fruits in a small pot and boil them for about 5 minutes.

7. Once the prunes are boiled, add them to the chicken. Keep the water you boiled them in.



8. Let the chicken cook at low heat for 20 to 25 minutes. Then add a little of the water you were cooking the prunes in in order to make a sauce. Don't add too much water, or the chicken will become watery.

9. If at any time the chicken sticks to the pot, add a little bit of whisky.



ENJOY IT! I love it!
