INGREDIENTS

1 large hen, cut into serving pieces
1/2 cup oil
2 large onions, chopped
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
2 tablespoons prepared roux
Water
Salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup chopped parsley
1/2 cup chopped green onion tops

In a large heavy pot, brown hen in oil over medium heat. Continue to cook, adding a little water from time to time to prevent sticking.

When brown, add onions and garlic and cook until transparent. Add tomato paste, roux, water, and seasonings; simmer over a low heat until hen is tender.

Fifteen minutes before serving, add wine, parsley, and green onion tops; serve over cooked rice in soup bowls.
