Instructions

For Tarhoňoto we need 3-4 pieces of chicken meat... Thighs, wings, breasts... whatever you like... Sauté them together with chopped leeks /about 10cm/ in a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, add a bit of thyme and ground paprika, 2-3 chopped and peeled tomatoes, sauté lightly and then add water.

When the meat is halfway cooked, add half of a medium-sized zucchini, peeled and diced into small cubes. You can also add fresh or dried mushrooms, fresh or dried, they give the dish a beautiful aroma and flavor. Zucchini will nicely thicken the sauce. Continue to simmer. When the meat is tender, remove it to a plate and set aside. Add a large cup of tarhoňa to the sauce and also add about a cup of water. The tarhoňa should be covered with water.

Let it simmer gently over low heat. Then add the vegetables to the tarhoňa in the sauce. Fresh or frozen, seasonal, or according to taste. Wait until everything starts to boil together, gently stir, cover with a lid, and remove from heat.

The vegetables and Tarhoňa slowly absorb the sauce, flavors combine, and a creamy tarhoňoto is created.... Before serving, add chicken meat and sprinkle with hard, mature cheese....

If the tarhoňoto is not creamy enough, you can add a tablespoon of butter, let it melt freely in the tarhoňa and stir slowly..... Serve with any vegetable salad.
