This is a dish my mother made the other day, which I found interesting and thought you might like it. So here it is...!
Ingredients: 6 chicken thighs, 1 medium onion chopped, 3-4 tbsp of olive oil, 1 tbsp of tomato paste, ½ can tomato juice (we use homemade), 1 cup of red wine, 2 cups of orzo (gluten free), 1 cinnamon stick, salt to taste and a pinch of cayenne pepper (be careful as it might turn out really hot!)
My mom uses the pressure cooker a lot, as when she was younger and due to her working and raising 3 kids by herself, she didn’t have much time to spend in the kitchen. And of course this has become a habit even now that she is retired!
So, in a pressure cooker, you sauté the onion and the tomato paste in the olive oil in medium fire. You add the chicken thighs and the cinnamon stick. You add the wine and let the alcohol evaporate. You put the tomato juice and 1 cup of water and let the food come to boil. You add the salt and the cayenne and close the pressure cooker for about half an hour (at first in high temperature and once the valve springs, you lower the fire to low heat). Once you open the pressure cooker, you put another 2 caps of water and when it starts boiling, you put the orzo and let it cook for about 10’ until it absorbs the water. Once ready you remove the cinnamon stick.
Voila! You serve with a tasteful grated cheese.
Enjoy!
