About

IN ITALIAN CUISINE, ‘ALLA CACCIATORA’ REFERS TO A MEAL THAT’S PREPARED IN ‘HUNTER’S STYLE’ AND TYPICALLY INDICATES A STEW MADE WITH ONIONS, HERBS, TOMATOES AND WINE. HERE, I’VE USED CHICKEN, BUT IT’S FREQUENTLY PREPARED WITH RABBIT, WHICH THE HUNTERS WOULD SHOOT IN WINTER. THIS IS THE PERFECT DISH TO SERVE TO A CROWD AS YOU SIMPLY DOUBLE UP THE INGREDIENTS. IT COULDN’T BE EASIER TO PREPARE AS ALL THE INGREDIENTS GO INTO ONE POT. ITALIAN COMFORT FOOD AT ITS BEST!
