Ingredients:
1 chicken cut into pieces
salt
freshly ground black pepper
8 oz package hazelnuts

Instructions:
1. Wash chicken and dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with some salt and pepper and set aside in refrigerator.

2. From an 8 ounce package of hazelnuts, reserve about 20 nuts. Grind the rest in a small food processor until well ground.

3. Brown the chicken pieces in a few tablespoons of shortening in a metal casserole with a lid (or Dutch oven.)

4. Pour the ground hazelnuts over the browned chicken pieces and add the whole hazelnuts. Add 2 cups of water. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook at a slow simmer for an hour, stirring gently once in a while.

5. Serve pieces of chicken with hazelnut sauce spooned on top.
