2 cups spicy Clamato juice or vegetable juice cocktail
1 can (28 ounce size) undrained diced or stewed tomatoes, preferably with herbs and spices
2 cloves minced garlic
OR
2 teaspoons bottled minced garlic
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
OR
8 chicken thighs
Optional
2 tablespoons vodka
2 thinly sliced celery stalks
several dashes hot pepper sauce
Pour juice and entire contents of can of tomatoes into a large wide saucepan. If using whole tomatoes, break up.
Place over medium-high heat. Add garlic and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. To thicken, gently boil, uncovered and stirring often. Trim fat from chicken and discard. Cut chicken into 1/2-inch strips.
When sauce is almost as thick as you'd like, add chicken, separating strips. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered and stirring often, until chicken is cooked, from 6 to 8 minutes.
Spoon over hot pasta or rice. Great with steamed green beans and a sprinkling of Parmesan or chopped coriander. Refrigerated sauce will keep well for 2 days.
In keeping with the Bloody Mary theme, stir the vodka into sauce when you add chicken, and add celery. For extra fire, add hot pepper sauce.
Leberknodel
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

This is a good and easy recipe but needs (for me) more spices. I used a garlic and herb spice, more worcestishire, cilantro and onions chopped up. Turned out yummy, served over white rice.
