Meat - Peas with vegetables and chicken drumsticks by Leontina N. - Recipia

Peas with vegetables and chicken drumsticks start with lightly browning the meat in the multicooker. With precooked peas, potatoes and chopped vegetables, the broth thickens, and the drumsticks turn tender at the end on the STEW setting. I don’t rush the browning and let the drumsticks take on some color before adding the vegetables. Prep time: 20 minutes. Cook time: 48 minutes. Total time: 68 minutes. Serves: 4.

Ingredients

4 chicken drumsticks
2 medium onions (300 g)
2 carrots (160 g)
1 medium parsnip (100 g)
1 red pointed pepper (150 g)
1 green or yellow bell pepper (150 g)
300 ml chicken stock
600 g precooked peas
1 medium potato (180 g)
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon (15 g) tomato paste
15 g fresh herbs

Preparation

1. Pat the drumsticks dry with paper towels and lightly brown them in the multicooker on the FRY setting for 8 minutes. 2. Chop the onions, carrots, parsnip and peppers. Add them to the drumsticks and sauté for 5 minutes, until slightly softened. 3. Pour in the chicken stock and set the BOIL program for 5 minutes, until the liquid starts to boil. 4. Add the precooked peas and the potato cut into small cubes. Continue boiling on BOIL for another 10 minutes. 5. Add the salt and tomato paste, then set the STEW program for 20 minutes, until the potato is soft and the meat is tender near the bone. 6. Sprinkle with the chopped herbs once the program ends and serve warm.

Notes

The dish keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days in a sealed container; you can make it a day ahead and reheat it gently. The herbs can be parsley, dill or basil. Bread is good with the broth left on the plate. Large drumsticks may need another 5 minutes on STEW; check that the meat is tender near the bone. If the broth is too thin after the program, mash two or three potato cubes and stir them into the pot. The precooked peas may already be very soft, so stir them in carefully. On the stovetop, use a covered saucepan over low to medium heat, so the broth simmers gently.
