This recipe comes from a little wok recipe book that my brother in law lended to me. The photo looked so yummy that I just had to try it! I love cooking with a wok, it brings out flavors in a way no skillet could. French vermouth brands are preferable to Italian because they are drier. Ingredients:
6 chicken drumsticks |
500 g artichoke hearts |
100 g pistachios |
2 shallots, minced |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped |
200 ml chicken stock |
100 ml dry vermouth |
3 tablespoons sunflower oil (not olive oil) or 3 tablespoons canola oil (not olive oil) |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. Drain artichoke hearts and set aside.
2. Heat two tablespoons of the oil in the wok under medium heat.
3. Sauté shallots and garlic for about two minutes.
4. Add drumsticks and sauté for 7-8 minutes, turning the drumsticks often.
5. Pour in chicken stock and cook under medium-low heat for another 25 minutes.
6. Add vermouth, artichoke hearts and the last teaspoon of the oil and season with salt and pepper.
7. Keep cooking for 5 minutes or until the chicken is done.
8. Stir in pistachios and basil and serve.
