Pollo Con Ajo - the Spanish take on garlic chickenPollo con ajo simply means, in Spanish, chicken with garlic. Like most other European countries, Spanish and Canarian cooking relies heavily on garlic - it has health-giving properties after all - and this dish is no exception. Photo: comoju
Finely chop the garlic and the coriander. Add them to a tablespoon of the olive oil, plus the salt, pepper, oregano and marjoram and mash into a paste. Coat the chicken pieces with this mixture and leave to stand for a while. Heat up some more oil in a pan, then add the chicken. Turn frequently to ensure the meat is golden brown all over. This should take about 10 minutes. Add the stock, then bring to a simmer. Allow to cook for a further 45 minutes, so the chicken is really tender. This dish is complemented nicely with papas arrugadas.
