1/2 oz dried shiitake mushrooms
4 tbsp olive oil

1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 14oz can stewed tomatoes
1/2 tsp allspice
salt and pepper
2 bay leaves

Soak mushrooms for half an hour in enough warm water to just cover them.
Heat oil in large skillet and cook the chicken until lightly browned on all sides.
Add onion and saute a minute or two, then splash in wine and let it boil up.  
Lower the heat and add the garlic, paste, tomatoes, seasonings, mushrooms and liquid.  
Cover and cook slowly for about forty minutes.
