Инструкции
- Trim off and throw away root ends and tough green tops of leeks. Cut leeks in half lengthwise and rinse well, then cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Rinse chicken and pat dry. Scrub potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
- In a 5- to 6-qt nonstick pan over medium-high heat, heat butter. Add in chicken and turn as needed to brown lightly on all sides, 4 to 5 min total; transfer to a small bowl.
- Add in leeks to pan; stir till limp, 3 to 4 min. Add in broth, vermouth, minced basil, lemon peel, and potatoes; cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer 10 min. Lay chicken on vegetables in pan; cover and simmer till potatoes are tender when pierced and chicken is white in center of thickest part (cut to test), 10 to 16 min longer.
- With a slotted spoon, return chicken to the small bowl. Add in peas to leek mix. In another small bowl, blend cornstarch and 1/4 c. water till smooth. Stir into pan and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring. Add in salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon equal portions of the leek mix into wide soup bowls. Top each mound of leeks with a piece of chicken (if you like, cut breasts crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices). Garnish with lemon slices and basil sprigs.
- NOTES : This sturdy stew also calls for knives and forks.
