Ingredients

3 tbsp olive oil

2 medium onions, halved and sliced

1 garlic bulb, separated into cloves

2 red chillies, deseeded and sliced

350ml red wine

350ml chicken stock

600g tomato, finely chopped

3 tbsp tomato purée

2 tsp chopped thyme

6 skinless chicken legs

chopped parsley, to serve (optional)

pasta or mash, to serve

Method

Heat the olive oil in a large heavybased pan. Add the onions and whole garlic cloves. Fry, stirring frequently, for 10 mins, adding the chillies for the final min.

Pour in the wine, turn up the heat and allow it to bubble for 1 min to cook off the alcohol. Stir in the stock, tomatoes, tomato purée and thyme with some seasoning. Add the chicken legs, pushing them under the liquid, then part-cover the pan and leave to simmer gently for 45 mins.

Remove the lid and cook for a further 15 mins until the chicken is tender and the sauce has reduced a little. Serve scattered with parsley, if you like, and pasta or mash.
