Chicken cacciatore with peppers onions mushrooms in cast iron skillet without dredging in flower12/14/2023 ![]() And it seems this concoction was her own. ![]() Still, we are taking recipes here, and she didn’t have many good ones. Her dinners were nutritious and well balanced. For many families in the world, my mother’s burned, dried steak would be a feast. I want to clarify right here and now, that I am very grateful that my mother did her best to feed us every, single, night. I imagine because it would be done faster. Skillet or saucepan, everything was cooked on a burner turned to high. My mother’s method of sear until “done” produced a dry, tasteless and tough steak. In some recipes, like Ricky’s LONDON BROIL STEAK, searing a piece of meat in a hot skillet is a great way to start cooking a piece of steak, or a thick chop, but then it finishes cooking at a moderate heat, in the oven. She would take out a cast iron skillet, put the heat on high, and the meat of the day would get slapped in. Good enough, would sum up her attitude about making dinner. It was never a goal of hers to be a good cook. Get it done somehow, don’t worry about the taste, was her M.O. Her version of chicken cacciatore was a far sight better than most of the meals that graced our dinner table. Like everyone else, my mother loved Tess’s cooking, so my meat and potatoes mother became inspired to dabble in making “spaghetti sauce”. They were opposite in so many ways, but they were buds. My mother was English, rather reserved (at least in public □), and proud to have a drop of semi-royal English blood. ![]() Tess was Sicilian, full of gusto, piss and vinegar. They found each other through the friendship between Ricky, his sister Maureen and me. Tess and my mother were a very unlikely duo. So why didn’t she serve it at home herself? We were both kind of perplexed because it is almost certain that Ricky’s mother, Tess showed her how to make it. I mentioned to him one day that my mother’s cacciatore was different from his. Where did this Chicken Cacciatore recipe come from ? ![]() I think of cacciatore as being served with pasta, and this version is delicious. This chicken cacciatore is served with pasta in a tomato sauce with onions, peppers and mushrooms. We have already posted Ricky’s usual chicken cacciatore recipe CHICKEN CACCIATORE which is a one pan meal much like a stew. ![]() Jump to Recipe Print Recipe Chicken Cacciatore with Pasta ![]()
