"Here is one of my favorite French stews: Basque-Style Chicken. While some versions call on stewing the ingredients together, this version has you add the roasted red peppers and the prosciutto toward the end of the recipe. That way, they stay fresh and vivid, and make for a more striking, colorful, and up-to-date version of the dish...."
