Step 1

Bring water to boil.

Season chicken and sausage with 2 teas. salt and 1 tea pepper and the oregano. Heat olive oil in heavy bottomed pot over high heat. Add the chicken and sausage and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.

Add the onions, garlic, bay leaves and tomato puree to the pot. Reduce heat and cook,stirring, until the oil turns deep red and the onions are tender, 6-8 mins. If the onions are sticking, add a splash of water and scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
