Name - Recipe
Κοτόπουλο και πατάτες καπαμάς.
4 pieces of chicken
4 large potatoes
1 teaspoon of salt
1 glass of red dry wine
2 glasses of sunflower oil
3 glasses of water
Peel the potatoes and cut them in half. Heat the oil in a deep non-stick pan and fry them. Once browned, remove them to a plate. Sauté the chicken until browned and then remove some of the oil (about half). Place the fried potatoes on top of the meat one by one. Add the water, cover the pot and cook over medium heat. When most of the water is absorbed, lower the heat. Add the salt to the glass of wine, and stir them together with a spoon. Drizzle the wine over the hot food and cover the pot again, continuing to cook for 10 to 15 minutes. (Rafaella Papapericleous, Cooking Cypriot food 2012-2013)
