8 cups chopped, peeled tomatoes
1/2 cup tomato paste
3/4 cup red or Marsala wine
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon basil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
freshly grated Romano cheese
Wash and drain the chicken pieces. Heat the oil in a deep skillet. Roll and coat each chicken piece in the flour and brown each piece on all sides to a golden brown. Transfer the chicken to paper towels to drain. Saute the onion, mushrooms, carrots, green peppers, and garlic in the same skillet for 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes and saute for another 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, wine, herbs, salt and pepper, and cook over medium heat for another 5 minutes.
Add all the chicken pieces and mix well. Turn down the heat very low, and simmer, covered, for 1 hour. Adjust the salt and pepper to your taste. Serve with some freshly grated cheese and a nice warm loaf of Italian bread. I made this up just like it says and then took it all and threw it in the crock. Its been there since 1pm and we will probably eat between 5 and 6pm. For me the longer a sauce simmers the better it tastes. You can also serve it over linguini noodles! YUMMMMMMMM

salt and pepper
8 ounces pineapple chunks in unsweetened juice — undrained
1/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon brown bouquet sauce
2 carrots — peeled and thinly sliced
1 large green pepper — cut into 1-inch squares
Melt butter in a heat-resistant, non-metallic broiler-proof skillet on a conventional surface unit. When butter is hot, sear lamb chops on both sides until lightly browned. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Or use the “browner” for 4 to 5 minutes per side.
While the chops are browning, drain pineapple juice into a small heat-resistant, non-metallic bowl. Reserve pineapple chunks; add brown sugar, vinegar, cornstarch and brown bouquet sauce to pineapple juice. Stir to combine.
Heat pineapple juice mixture, uncovered, 2 minutes in Micro- wave Oven or until thickened and clear.
Pour thickened sauce over browned lamb chops.
Add carrot slices and heat, covered, 5 minutes in Microwave Oven. Add pineapple chunks and heat, covered, 2 1/2 minutes in Microwave Oven. Add green pepper squares and heat, uncovered, in Microwave Oven 2 1/2 minutes, or until lamb and vegetables are tender.
