1566—Poulet Sauté Marseillaise
Sauté the chicken in oil, and, when it is half-cooked, add thereto two crushed cloves of garlic; three oz. of ciseled, green capsicums, and the same weight of quartered tomatoes—all three tossed in oil.
When the chicken is cooked, drain away the oil; swill the pan with one-sixth pint of white wine and a few drops of lemon juice, and reduce almost entirely.
Dish the chicken; cover it with the garnish, and sprinkle with a pinch of concassed parsley.
