Dice the chicken thighs into 3cm pieces add seasoning to your taste and with a little olive oil brown all sides in a medium hot pan then set aside.

Next, add the onions and garlic to the same pan with olive oil - take care not to burn the garlic - and fry down until soft and caramelised then add the tomato paste to the pan and give a few minutes to remove any bitterness, then stir

Deseed the capsicum and bake in a hot oven until just starting to wrinkle then slice into strips and add to the pan with the juices from baking, then add the chicken stock and white wine to deglaze the pan and stir well.

Now add the tomatoes and 4 x teaspoons from the Basque Country Spice Pouch. Stir everything together and allow to reduce a little.
