Ingredients

  • 150ml olive oil
  • 2 large brown onions, diced
  • 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • Sea salt
  • Freshly ground white pepper
  • 5 sprigs thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 200ml white wine
  • 250g borlotti beans, podded
  • 3 x 400g tins whole tomatoes
  • Vegetable oil
  • 8 chicken thighs, trimmed of excess fat
  • 8 sprigs marjoram, leaves picked

Method

Heat olive oil in a heavy-based saucepan. Add onions and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook over a medium heat for about 25 minutes until soft and golden. Add thyme, bay leaf and white wine. Allow wine to reduce by three-quarters. Add beans and tomatoes and simmer until beans are cooked and sauce has thickened, about 30-40 minutes.

Heat a little vegetable oil in a frypan and brown the chicken thighs on both sides. Add thighs and marjoram to thickened tomatoes and stir to cover. Simmer gently with a lid on until chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes. Serve with grilled bread or roast potatoes and a green salad.
