Spanish style
chicken

Heat the
oil in a heavy casserole. Add the
chicken pieces and fry, on both sides,
until brown. Remove from the casserole
and set aside. Toss in the onions,
season, then fry on a low heat until
transparent.
Return
the chicken to the pot, add the celery,
beer, tomato puree and bay leaf and
simmer for a few minutes. Add enough
water or stock to just cover the chicken
and bring back to a simmer.
Transfer
to the oven and cook for about 45
minutes or until the chicken is very
tender.
Line your
serving bowls with wild garlic leaves
or spinach. Divide the chicken and
broth between the bowls.
Garnish
with a sprinkling of paprika and serve
with some crusty bread or boiled rice.
