Categories     Whole Chicken

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large roasting chicken
1/4 lb butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 pint sour cream
1/4 lb mushroom, sliced thin
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons parsley, chopped
3 scallions, chopped
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Clean chicken and cut into pieces.
  • Brown pieces in hot butter in heavy frying pan, then remove chicken to casserole.
  • Reheat butter in pan and add flour, blending carefully. Heat and stir until mixture is light brown. Cool roux thoroughly. Will not curdle if roux is cooled before sour cream is added.
  • Add sour cream slowly, mix well and simmer for a few minutes. Pour this over chicken in casserole. Add mushrooms, seasonings, parsley and scallions (green tops and all) and water. Sprinkle paprika over mixture.
  • Cover tightly, place in a 325 degree oven and cook for 1 1/2 hours, or until chicken is tender.
  • The sauce that is made is VERY thin, so I would make a larger roux, or at the end add a thickener.

GHIVECI---ROMANIAN VEGETABLE STEW



Ghiveci---Romanian Vegetable Stew image

This is my favorite Romanian dish. It is popular in summer and during Ortodox lent, when hen you can't eat meat. The recipe can vary a lot....in the late summer people put in eggplant sometimes, in the earlier summer zucchini. Use what is best for the season. Make sure to follow the cooking order so that nothing gets too mushy. Serve this with rice. Some people even add a bit of rice towards the end of the cooking time.
