1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
8 cloves garlic, smashed
4 large bay leaves
4 carrots, coarsely chopped
4 stalks celery, coarsely chopped
2 lemons, sliced

Steps:

  • For the picada: Toast the nuts in a small skillet, then remove to a plate. Add the EVOO to the skillet and toast the bread slices until golden. Chop the bread and add to a food processor along with the parsley, lemon juice, garlic, toasted almonds and a splash of water. Pulse until the mixture is a pesto-like consistency. Refrigerate until ready to serve. For the stew: Heat the EVOO in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Add the tomatoes and mash. Add the stock and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir in the chicken. Stir in the picada and olives, then remove f

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken came out dry and the sauce was watery. I'm going to try it again, but I'll make sure to follow the recipe more carefully this time.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great. The sauce was a little bland for my taste, but that's easily fixed with some salt and pepper.
