Pollo Fricassee from Puerto Rico 23-Oct-2013

This sounds like a real winner if done in the slow cooker.

“Seasoned chicken drumsticks and potatoes that are slowly cooked in a puree of bell peppers, onion, and cilantro. From Pilgrim’s Chicken.”

Ingredients

• 5 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 cup dry red wine
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 bay leaves

Directions

1. Wash the chicken and pat dry; place into a large bowl. Season with adobo seasoning, sazon seasoning and salt. Place the legs into a slow cooker, and cover with the potato slices.

2. Puree the red pepper, green pepper, onion, garlic, cilantro, olive oil, wine, cumin and oregano in a blender. Pour over the chicken and add the bay leaves.
