Romanian Chicken Stew - Ostropel

A delicious dish, although I cook a lot of chicken, here's a variant I haven't tried yet. Simple ingredients but the flavors are extraordinary, and of course as a rule I combined the ostropel with polenta, a combination even stronger, I recommend you try.

Step 9

An hour is needed not so much to boil the meat (mine is commercially available and it is ready very quickly), but to catch the flavor and consistency of the sauce. To exchange the flavors of meat and sauce.

Season with salt and pepper, before turning off the heat, add the crushed garlic - turn off the heat immediately, so as not to destroy the garlic flavor.

Set the pan with the ostropel aside for 15 minutes and during this time make a polenta.

Serve with polenta, it is a very successful combination.
