1. Place the thighs in a pot, pour water over them, add carrots, bay leaf and allspice. Cook everything for about 30-40 minutes until the meat and carrots are soft.
2. When the chicken and carrots are soft, remove them from the broth. After cooling down, the broth itself can be stored and used in other recipes. Before doing so, pour off half a glass of liquid – it will be needed for the paste.
3. Fry the diced onion in a pan with heated rapeseed oil. We also add a clove of garlic – mix everything and be careful not to burn the garlic.

5. Cut the cooked carrot into small cubes and add to the chicken. We complement everything with fried onion, garlic and spices – marjoram and smoked paprika. Don’t forget about salt and pepper – add the amount according to your taste preferences.
6. The next step is to add a tablespoon of mayonnaise and, optionally, a teaspoon of Dijon mustard (if you like spicier dishes). Mix everything – the consistency will be quite thick and compact. Therefore, add the previously reserved broth – making sure that the mixture is not too thick. After this step, the paste will be ready.
