INGREDIENTS (Serves 2-3)

     1 kg      chicken pieces
     1-2        garlic cloves, chopped or pressed
     1         medium onion, chopped
     60 ml     chopped parsley
     1         medium carrot, sliced
     75 g      fresh mushrooms, sliced
     500 ml    dry red wine (young Burgundy,  California  Zinfan-

     30 ml     cooking oil
               flour
               salt and pepper (to taste)

PROCEDURE

          (1)  Start by heating the oil in a frying  pan.   Brown

               evenly, turning often.  This should take  about  5
               minutes.
