Ingredients

• 1 medium sized chicken
• 4-5 fresh tomatoes, mashed or 1 tin preserved tomatoes
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 2-3 cloves
• 2 spoons butter
• 150 ml olive oil
• Salt
• Pepper

Instructions

• Wash the chicken, remove giblets and cut in 6 pieces.
• Melt butter in a large saucepan and sauté all the chicken pieces.
• Add the olive oil and the tomato mash and stir.
• Finally add the cinnamon stick, the cloves, a glass of water, season with salt and pepper and let the chicken cook in low heat for at least an hour.
• Check at regular intervals and add water if more is required.
• When chicken is cooked and the tomato sauce has thickened (water should be absorbed and only the oil should remain) remove from heat.
