Pollastre amb bolets translates from Catalan as "chicken with mushrooms". It is a traditional Catalan comfort food featuring chicken slowly cooked in a casserole with local wild mushrooms, garlic, herbs, and a splash of wine or/and brandy.
A picada, often referred to as the "Catalan pesto," is a traditional Catalan paste of crushed toasted nuts (almonds and hazelnuts are standard), garlic, and a little olive oil with other possible additions like bread, saffron, chocolate, parsley, etc., used to thicken and flavour the sauce without relying on heavy cream or flour.

This effortless and delicious Spanish chicken is the perfect harmony of aroma, flavour and colour. A simple marinade prepared with lots of fino sherry, white wine and spices used as the sauce and basting liquid. Perfect for any day or night of the week. Marination is the key to the perfection of the taste. So the longer you can let the marinade do its magic, the tastier the chicken gets. I left mine marinate for 16 hours, but if you are in a hurry, give it at least 4 hours up to 24 hours. Plan ahead, then you won’t be disappointed. Serve the chicken with crusty bread to mop up the sauce, or with some roasted potatoes or just a salad of your choice. I made a black radish salad with it.

Pollo en pepitoria, or chicken in almond sauce, is a Spanish-inspired feast of chicken braised in saffron, almonds, bay leaves, nutmeg, broth and sherry. The unique sauce is enriched and thickened with almonds and 4 hard-boiled yolks. It’s nutty, creamy and so delectable that you don’t want to miss out.
Pepitoria refers to the meat, usually poultry and game birds, cut in piece, or only offal and enriched with hard-boiled egg yolks. Though almonds are a very common addition, but are not really a necessity.
