  • In a large saucepan, heat olive oil then add onion, capsicum, garlic, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Sauté until soft. Add paprika and a cup of water.
  • Simmer for a few minutes. Add the chicken pieces and cook until sealed, stirring occasionally.
  • Combine the mixed vegetables with the onion mixture. Cover with water to fill the saucepan.
  • Cover, bring to the boil, then lower heat and simmer slowly for 1-2 hours, checking occasionally. It will be ready when vegetables are soft, the chicken cooked through and the water reduced. The liquid should be rich and red in colour.
