註﹕可以用平常的雞替代老母雞，煮完後取出的雞可以做為另一道菜。

Note: The stewing hen can be substituted with regular chicken. After removing from the sauce, the chicken can be served a dish.

做法﹕

1.	罐頭番茄用磨泥器(food mill)磨成泥。保留罐頭裡的汁。胡蘿蔔，芹菜和洋蔥切成小小丁。大蒜切成末。迷迭香取葉子略切。
2.	老母雞洗乾淨擦乾，對切開來後壓平。雞兩面抹上1/2小匙的鹽和1/4小匙的黑胡椒。
3.	鍋燒熱後加入1/4杯橄欖油。放進老母雞(皮向下)用中大火煎呈金黃。翻面繼續煎到金黃。夾出雞肉備用。
4.	原鍋加入胡蘿蔔，芹菜，洋蔥和大蒜末用中火炒到蔬菜變軟，約5分鐘。放進迷迭香，月桂葉和紅酒並用木杓將鍋底咖啡色的殘留物刮鬆。將雞肉放回鍋裡，繼續煮到紅酒幾乎收乾。
5.	倒入番茄泥和罐頭汁，并加入1/2小匙的鹽和1/4小匙的黑胡椒調味。把湯汁燒滾後轉成最小火，加蓋煮1小時30分鐘。
6.	夾出雞肉和月桂葉丟棄不要。最後將羅勒葉撕成小塊加入醬汁中。

PROCEDURE:

1.	Puree the canned tomatoes with a food mill. Reserve the can juice. Finely dice the carrot, celery and onion. Mince the garlic. Remove the rosemary leaves from the stems and roughly chop.
2.	Rinse the stewing hen and pat it dry with paper towels. Cut open the chicken and press it flat. Season both sides with ½ tsp. of salt and ¼ tsp. of black pepper.
3.	Add the ¼ cup of olive oil and the chicken (skin side down) to a dutch oven. Pan-fry the chicken until golden brown on both sides. Set the chicken aside.
4.	Add the carrot, celery, onion and garlic and sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Pour in the red win, rosemary and bay leave and deglaze (loose the brown bits on the bottom) the pot with a wooden spoon. Return the chicken to the pot. Continue to cook until the pot is almost dry.
5.	Add the tomato puree with juice, ½ tsp of salt and ¼ tsp. of black pepper for seasoning. Bring the mixture to a boil then turn the heat to low. Cover and cooking for 90 minutes.
6.	Remove and discard the chicken and bay leave. Torn the basils into small pieces and mix them with the red sauce.
