===== Pollo à la Vinagreta ===== - Bring to boil, reduce heat, __cover and simmer 30 minutes__ * about 3 lbs. (1300 g) chicken, cut in pieces. I prefer to skin the chicken pieces, both to reduce fat and because I like crispy, roasted skin but not soggy, simmered skin ((and I'm sorry to discard the skin, it was easier when I had a dog who liked it)). * 1/2 Cup (12 cl) water * a little salt : this is not going to be drained, so salt as you would that amount of chicken. * 1 bay leaf or 3/2 bay leaves * 6 peppercorns (black) - Blend together * 1/8 Cup (3 cl)-- 2 Tb (2 CàS)-- mustard * 1/4 Cup (6 cl) white vinegar -- good white vinegar, cider or white wine, not the stuff one washes windows or descales with! - Peel and slice * 3-4 tomatoes - Halve, vertically (top-to-bottom or vice-versa), then thinly slice the halves of * 1 medium onion - stir mustard/vnegar into broth - top with tomato slices and onion slices - __cover and simmer 30 minutes more__ - Option ((I rarely took, I didn't use a lot of canned peas and didn't want to open a can to use 1/4 - 1/2 Cup and then have to find something to do with the rest.)) : add 2-4 oz. (57-114g) canned peas Serve with mashed potatoes or rice or similar, so the sauce doesn't go to waste.
