Am I in the wild west?
No!
I am in Italy, you lovely people of Food Tube.
I am going to making for you and for me, this lovely Ragu Bianco.
It is a white ragu with chicken.
What is ragu?
Why is it white?
Yes, because there is no tomato inside!
So simple to make.
You will love it.
So olive oil inside, medium to high heat underneath.
Here I chopped a carrot, small onion, this is how much celery.
Stir it.
Garlic whole, let me turn down the gas a little bit.
A bunch of thyme with all the leaves and everything.
3 leaves of bay you crush with your hands.
And a little chilli.
Be very careful, some times it can be very hot!
Stir it a little bit.
You sweat it.
Now we've got some fantastic happy chicken!
I chopped it, very finely.
The original ragu was just little pieces of meat.
You use about one small breast of a chicken and one whole leg of a chicken.
Turn the gas high.
You don't have to brown it this meat.
Once you start to cook it.
This fantastic flavour starts to slowly, slowly, loosen out.
To give you fantastic flavour.
It's almost done as you can see!
Not burnt, but sealed.
This is where it comes the best.
Nice good wine.
It's about, half a glass of wine.
Keep stirring with everything inside.
And now you can put some salt in.
Right, taste it.
I wish you could taste it!
You can see all the wine is almost evaporated.
Now the alcohol is almost gone, only the lovely fruit of the wine stays inside.
Little bit of black pepper.
I am going to use now, roughly 250ml of chicken stock.
Now if you want to see how to make vegetable or chicken stock, click on this carrot.
So simple, it's so easy!
And you will get the full flavour.
Give it a stir.
Cover, turn down the gas to a minimum and cook for about 30 to 35 minutes.
Look at that!
How creamy it becomes!
The lovely oils from the chicken.
Now you remember all the herbs?
You remove those.
Slowly.
Don't do like me, use a spoon or a tong.
Now do you remember putting a whole garlic inside?
Who likes garlic here.
Paul!
By the way, Paul is the man behind the camera.
Happy Birthday!
Now I boiled some penne!
Straight in, whilst they're still hot.
And make sure you combine with the mix.
Now we're ready for a bit of Parmesans.
Then you grab a nice little bit of parsley, make sure your chopping board is very clean
if you have already chopped the chilli.
This is clean.
Straight inside.
Look at that, inside the pasta you can see some little chicken inside.
Yes!
The onions, carrots, celery's all there.
The chilli gives a little kick, the chickens inside.
Grate a little parmesan over.
Lovely, just some thyme.
You lovely people on Food Tube cook it and enjoy it and let us know if you like it or
not.
I've got a little chair in the corner, I'm going to eat it!
Where's the wine?!
The wine.
Salut!
I love you lovely people of Food Tube.
