SOPHIA LOREN'S CHICKEN CACCIATORA

Steps:

• In a 10 to 12 inch saute pan with cover, heat the oil over medium high heat, and when it is hot, brown the chicken on the skin side first, then the underside. Do not crowd the pan. Brown the chicken in batches if necessary, setting aside the browned chicken on a plate until the rest is done.
• When the first few pieces of chicken are almost browned and still in the pan, add the onion red pepper, saute until tender.
• Arrange all the browned chicken in the pan, skin side up, and add the white wine. Season with salt and hot pepper flakes, then let the wine cook until it has almost entirely evaporated, just a couple of minutes. While it is reducing, turn the chicken in the liquid once or twice, but leave it skin side up at the end.
• Add the tomatoes. Cover the pan, lower the heat, and let cook at a gentle simmer, without turning, for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is done.
• Remove the chicken to a serving platter, add the basil to the pan and increase the heat to high, letting the sauce reduce for about 2 minutes. In the end, the sauce will be creamy pink.
• Pour the sauce over the chicken or use it to dress pasta (reserving some for the chicken) and serve immediately.

SOPHIA LOREN'S TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Combine egg yolks and sugar in a medium-sized bowl and beat well.
• In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites to stiff peaks.
• In a third, larger bowl, combine the egg yolk mixture with the mascarpone, then fold in the egg whites to produce a creamy mixture.
• Arrange a tight layer of ladyfingers in a 9-by-12-inch serving dish.
• Using a spoon, drizzle about half the liqueur and half the espresso over the ladyfingers.
• Cover the ladyfingers with the mascarpone mixture and the grated chocolate, and dust it with a little more than half the cocoa.
• Cover the filling with a second layer of ladyfingers and drizzle with the remaining liqueur and espresso.
• Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours (the Tiramisu can be made 24 hours in advance).
• Top with the remaining cocoa before serving.
