Preparing the rooster: Start by washing the rooster well with cold water. Place it in a bowl with cold water and add 2 tablespoons of salt. Let it sit for about 1 hour. This step helps remove impurities and allows the flavors to penetrate. 2. Seasoning the rooster: After marinating, wash the rooster again, then prepare a spice mix. In a bowl, combine the olive oil with dried parsley, cumin, coriander, black pepper, curry, salt, chicken spices, soy sauce, and sweet chili sauce. Fill the rooster with this mixture, ensuring it is well covered on all sides. Place it in a ceramic baking dish, which will help achieve tender meat. 3. Adding the milk: Pour a cup of full-fat milk over the rooster. This ingredient will provide a rich flavor and creamy texture to the meat. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and refrigerate for a few hours; ideally, leave it overnight to allow the spices to penetrate well. 4. Preparing the pea stew: While the rooster is marinating, you can prepare the pea stew. Chop the onion and bell pepper finely. In a skillet, heat a few tablespoons of olive oil and add the onion and bell pepper. Sauté them over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent. 5. Adding the peas: Add the peas and carrots from the jar, along with the liquid from the jar. Add the garlic powder as well. Cover the skillet and let it simmer on low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. In the last 5 minutes, add the tomato paste and dried parsley to intensify the flavors. 6. Preparing the polenta: To make the polenta, bring a cup of salted water to a boil. When the water starts boiling, gradually add the cornmeal, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue stirring until the polenta becomes thick and pulls away from the sides of the pot. Turn off the heat and let it cool slightly before serving. 7. Baking the rooster: Preheat the oven to 240 degrees Celsius. Place the dish with the rooster in the oven and bake for about 1 hour. In the last 20 minutes, remove the aluminum foil and use a deep spoon to baste the rooster with the sauce formed in the dish. This step will help achieve a delicious reddish color. 8. Serving: Once the rooster is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve it alongside the pea stew and polenta, adding a spoonful of the delicious sauce from the dish over the meat. Enjoy your meal! Tips and tricks: - If you want to enhance the flavor, you can add a few cloves of garlic between the pieces of meat before putting it in the oven. - You can vary the spices according to your preferences by adding fresh herbs or other sauces you like. - Polenta can also be served with salty cheese or sour cream for extra creaminess. Nutritional benefits: This recipe is rich in protein from rooster meat, vitamins and minerals from vegetables, as well as carbohydrates from polenta, providing a nutritious and satisfying meal. Frequently asked questions: - Can I use chicken instead of rooster? Yes, the recipe can be adapted with chicken, but the cooking time will be reduced. - Is this recipe suitable for a diet? By adjusting the amounts of oil and spices, it can be included in lighter diets. Serving suggestions: This delicacy pairs excellently with a dry white wine or an aromatic herbal tea that will perfectly complement the flavors of the dish.
