Instructions

  • 1.   Before cooking, marinate the chicken (with its liver if desired) in the ingredients of the marinade previously mixed.

  • 3.   In a pressure cooker, place the chicken, add the onions, olives, salt, pepper, turmeric, and 2 glasses of water. Cook for 20 to 30 minutes. Let simmer uncovered for a short time to thicken the sauce.
