We are all home now, and more preparation for our lunchtime dinner is going on!

There are various dishes my Nonna likes to make and one is a chicken dish very like a casserole. It contains chicken breast fillets and chickpeas, carrots and garden peas, sweet peppers, onions, finely chopped garlic and tomatoes, Hungarian paprika, basil flakes, chicken stock, sliced potatoes and turnips, turmeric and black pepper.

It is served in bowls with ciabatta and cheese. The wine is local and a delicious rosé.

My uncle installed a much larger oven for the family-style dishes, so there are five moderate size casserole dishes already in the ovens. There are plenty of other dishes being prepared too.
