Basque chicken
Carefully strain the peppers before slicing them. Using the pressure coo-
ker, heat up the olive oil with half of the garlic over high heat, then fry
the chicken pieces. Salt and pepper. Pour in one glass of white wine to de-
glaze the cooking juices stuck to the bottom of the pressure cooker, then
take out the pieces.
Still using the same pressure cooker, brown the onions. Add the sliced
peppers and cook for 5 minutes over high heat while stirring. Add the
tomatoes, the bouquet garni of herbs, the garlic and the remainder of
the wine. Salt and pepper.
Leave to simmer for 3 minutes and put the chicken pieces back in.
Close the pressure cooker. As soon as the valve starts to hiss, lower the
heat and leave to cook for the stated duration.
Remove the bouquet garni, then put a few pieces of chicken in each plate
along with the Basque-style trimmings. Serve with pilaf rice.

the marrow bones in a pan full of slightly salted and lemon flavoured
water and leave to cook for 10 minutes over low heat.
Strain the meat. Serve it with a surrounding of vegetables and with whole
salt and pickles. Strain the bones and remove the marrow. Serve the mar-
row with the slices of toasted bread lightly rubbed with garlic. Serve the
bouillon separately after first adding 3 or 4 tablespoons of Port wine.
