4 anchovies, finely chopped
2 tablespoons shredded basil
1/3 cup (50g) kalamata olives, pitted, halved

Preparation

1. Dust chicken pieces in flour. Heat oil in a flameproof casserole dish on high. Pan-fry chicken, in batches, for 2 minutes each side, until browned. Remove and set aside.

Hot Tips

Bread crumbs

You can easily turn unused bread into breadcrumbs. Lightly dry the bread in a moderate oven and then pulse in a food processor until desired coarseness. Do not use stale bread as this will result in stale tasting bread crumbs.

Glossary

Spit Roast (Razanj)

Spit roasting is common all over Croatia - suckling pig, lamb and beef are slowly rotated and basted over gentle heat.
