This year 2 weeks self catering at Kapitanios cost us £1800.00 that was for 3 adults and a child, one of the adult prices was our 17 year old son, our other son got a free child place, but we all know that his fare would be coverd by the 'other' charges you incur

Colin - she even spells it wrong with a camera!! LOL = Krasato
From the web: http://greekfood.about.com/od/poultrydishes/r/kotapipperies.htm
Kotopoulo Krasato me Piperies: Stewed Chicken with Wine and Peppers.
In Greek: κοτόπουλο κρασάτο με πιππεριές, pronounced koh-TOH-poo-lo krah-SAH-toh meh pee-peh-ree-YES
This is a family favorite - both for me as the cook as well as for those who are going to eat it! It's a pretty dish - with the red and green bell peppers, and I can use parts of the chicken that are less expensive and it's always delicious.
Cook Time: 1 hour, 15 minutes
Ingredients:
4 1/2 pounds of chicken, serving size pieces
1 large onion, chopped
1/4 cup of olive oil
1 teaspoon of sea salt
1/4 cup of red wine
1 3/4 cups of water
2 sweet red peppers, seeded and chopped (bell, corno di toro, etc.)
2 green bell peppers, seeded and chopped
juice of 2 lemons
2 tablespoons of flour

Preparation:

Clean the chicken to remove any yellow fat, and rinse thoroughly. Pat dry.

Heat oil in a stew pot over high heat. When hot, add chopped onion and chicken. Stir to coat with oil and cover. When the liquid comes to a full boil, cook for 8-9 minutes or until liquid from the chicken cooks off, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Stir in the wine, lower heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. Add water and peppers, stir to mix well, cover, and cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, combine lemon juice and flour with a fork until flour is dissolved.

Increase heat under the chicken to medium, and when it reaches a full boil, pour off 1 1/2 cups of the liquid into the lemon-flour mixture. Use a fork to blend well and pour back into the pot, stirring to blend thoroughly. Allow to boil for 3 minutes, turn off heat, and let sit, covered, on the cooling stovetop for 20 minutes before serving.

Yield: serves 4-6  - - Notes: Remove chicken skin before serving. This can also be made with skinless chicken.
