Pollo al disco
Pollo al disco is a delicious dish originating from Argentina. It is a flavorful chicken dish cooked on a traditional cooking tool called a "disco," which is a large round metal pan. The chicken is usually seasoned with herbs and spices, then cooked with onions, bell peppers, and sometimes other vegetables. The discos are typically placed over an open fire or grill, allowing the chicken to cook slowly and develop a rich, smoky flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken cut into pieces (such as drumsticks, thighs, or bone-in breasts)
- 1 large onion sliced
- 1 bell pepper sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with olive oil, paprika, dried oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the chicken with the spices. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat the disco or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned on all sides, for about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
- In the same pan, add the sliced onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized, for about 5 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the pan with the onions and bell peppers. Cover the pan with a lid or aluminum foil, reduce the heat to low, and let it cook for about 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Once cooked, remove the lid and give it a final stir to combine all the flavors. Adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Serve the Pollo al disco hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. It pairs well with steamed rice, roasted potatoes, or a fresh salad.
