Chicken in pepitoria--almond-saffron sauce--is made with gallina that is first simmered to produce broth, then cut up and fried and sauced. I usually adapt that recipe to use small, cut-up fryer. That recipe is here: http://mykitcheninspain.blogspot.com.es/2011/JANET MENDELhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05727555362345930082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4033770631819899656.post-7878159818346494112014-01-24T15:36:03.501+01:002014-01-24T15:36:03.501+01:00Hi Janet.

As you know, old chickens are tough tough tough...but delicious! Do you have any Spanish recipes that utilize old tough hens? If anyone can get it right, I'm sure it's the Spanish!

I also add more meat stuff than the home-cooked version, which may have a ham bone and a little sausage.JANET MENDELhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05727555362345930082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4033770631819899656.post-46078497702558577592014-01-20T22:19:21.916+01:002014-01-20T22:19:21.916+01:00OK...love the whole idea, but it's kind of hil...OK...love the whole idea, but it's kind of hilarious that they call this a "vegetable stew" with six different kinds of meat in it.
