Pollo alla Cacciatora
Pollo alla Cacciatora, literally translating to hunters' chicken, is a recipe whose main ingredient was the catch of the day - chicken or rabbit! You'll see this recipe throughout Italy where the meat braised, then slow-cooked with tomatoes, onions, carrots, rosemary and oregano with a little white or red wine. The ingredients in this recipe meld together, creating a hearty and aromatic flavor. After a few hours of slow cooking in a copper pan, serve with toasted Italian bread rubbed with fresh garlic.
