Yield: Serves 4 to 6.

This delicious Sicilian chicken dish blends the tastes of several Mediterranean cuisines.

• 1 chicken, cut into pieces
• 1/2 cup vinegar (either white or wine)
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons dried, crushed mint leaves or 1/2 cup minced fresh mint
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 stalks celery, sliced 1/4-inch thick
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup pitted green olives

Place chicken in a large baking dish. Mix vinegar, water, mint, and garlic together with the celery and pour over the chicken. The vinegar mixture should come to only 1/3 or 1/2 the depth of the chicken (use a bigger pan if the liquid is too high). Add salt and pepper to taste. Bake at 400 degrees F for 50 to 70 minutes. Then add olives to the pan and bake 15 minutes more.
