A stew arranged like a satellite dish: sharp, tangy, and full of tension on your plate.
A sharp, tangy chicken and pepper stew plated in circles to resemble a satellite dish, with thin pickle strips as ‘signals’ and a halved boiled egg as the ‘receiver’. The tension and connection of Starlink captured in taste and form.
Ingredients
- 700 g chicken thigh fillet
- 2 red bell peppers
- 2 green bell peppers
- 2 onions
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 can diced tomatoes (400 g)
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp chili flakes
- 200 ml chicken stock
- 4 pickles
- 4 eggs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper
Method
- Cut the chicken thighs into pieces. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and chili flakes.
- Finely chop the onions and garlic. Slice the bell peppers into rings.
- Heat olive oil in a large pan. Brown the chicken all over. Remove from the pan.
- Sauté onion and garlic in the same pan until translucent. Add tomato paste and cook briefly.
- Return the chicken, add peppers. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Add diced tomatoes, red wine vinegar, and stock. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, hard-boil the eggs. Peel and halve them.
- Cut the pickles into long thin strips.
- Spoon the stew onto four plates in a wide circle. Arrange pepper rings in concentric circles as the dish.
- Place a halved egg in the center as the ‘receiver’. Stick pickle strips out from the dish as ‘signals’.
- Season with extra pepper and serve immediately.
Serving notes
- Serve with crusty bread to break the tension.
- Garnish with extra chili flakes for those who want more heat.
