2. 2

   Add vegetables, garlic, salt, pepper and rosemary. Cook together for 5 minutes. Pour in red wine and let it reduce. Remove garlic and rosemary, then add chopped peeled tomatoes.

   Cover and cook over moderate heat for 30–35 minutes, until the chicken is tender and cooked through; larger pieces may take longer. Check seasoning and stir in chopped parsley.
