Ingredients:  
1 3 1/2 lb. chicken, cut up
1/2 lemon
6 Tbs. olive oil
1 red onion, finely sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 carrot, finely chopped
1 celery rib, finely chopped
2 Tbs. flat-leaf parsley

Directions:
Directions:
Rub the chicken with the juice of 1/2 lemon.

Warm 4 Tbs. olive oil in a skillet and saute the onion, garlic, carrot, celery, parsley, rosemary & 1/3 of the lemon zest over low-medium heat for 15 minutes, til the onions are soft but not yet golden.

In a dutch oven, warm the remaining 2 Tbs. oil and add the chicken. Saute over medium-high heat til they are golden brown, about 15 minutes, turning frequently to brown them evenly. At the end, turn the heat to high, pour in the red wine and let it boil brisky until it evaporates. Transfer the onion mixture to the pan with the chicken pieces, stir in the tomatoes and stock, turn the heat to low, cover and cook slowly for 30 minutes. Uncover and cook for another 10 minutes or til the sauce thickens. Taste for salt and pepper.

Puree the sauce in a blender, adding the nutmeg and rest of lemon zest. If too thick, add a little more broth. Pour over the chicken and serve.
