Peruvian Stewed Chicken

1 can (16 ounce) chopped tomatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 bay leaf
10 small chicken pieces (up to 12)
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 cup green peas

Place tomatoes in a blender or a food processor fitted with the metal blade and process until liquefied. Set aside.
Heat oil in a large saucepan or stockpot over moderate heat. Add onion and saute until soft, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and saute for another 2 minutes. Add cumin, oregano and bay leaf and stir to combine. Sprinkle chicken pieces with salt and pepper and add to pan. Brown the chicken lightly. Add the tomatoes and enough water to cover 3/4 of chicken. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce the heat, and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until chicken is cooked through. About 10 minutes before the chicken is done, add the green pepper and peas. Serve warm.

Cajun Blackened Fish Or Chicken

----INGREDIENTS AND EQUIPMENT----
1 fish fillets or chicken parts
1 cajun spice mix (recipe follows)
1 large cast-iron skillet
----CAJUN SPICE MIX----
5 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground dried thyme
1 teaspoon cayenne powder (more to taste)
1/2 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon finely ground white pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Mix spices very well, and store in an air-tight container. Or, use a commercial Cajun spice mix such as Paul Prudhomme's.

TO PREPARE FISH FILLETS: (redfish, grouper, mahi, snapper, rockfish, etc.) Rinse fillets and pat mostly dry with paper towel. Leave slightly damp, as this moisture is going to adhere the spice paste to the fish. Coat fillets with spice paste. Coat skillet with small amount of canola or other high-heat oil, or oil spray (can be omitted, with slight risk of sticking depending on condition of skillet). Get the skillet good and hot, oil should be starting to smoke. Arrange fillets in skillet. Turn when half-done. Cooking time will depend on heat, and thickness of fillets - a minute on each side would be enough for typical rockfish ("Pacific red snapper") fillets. You want the spice coating NOT to be fully black - just darkened. Serve with lemon or lime wedges.

TO PREPARE CHICKEN PARTS: Skin parts, and remove excess fat. Rinse and pat mostly dry. Coat with spice paste. Arrange in hot skillet. Cook 5 minutes on each side, or until spice paste darkens up. Lower heat and continue cooking until done (juice should run clear, not pink, if a thick piece is pierced deeply with a knifetip), or finish in a 350 degree oven.
