Hey guys!
So first and foremost. Im excited to start working on my Cooking with Jaz website. I think its time for some change. Im excited for all that God has planned and thankful for all that He has been doing through this blog.
Now back to cooking.
If you're Kenyan, you love stew cause God knows we're all about those stews. I can't think of one person I know here who didn't have stew for dinner growing up and just about everyday for lunch at that banda, or dinner.
So yeah I love it too.
Here is a simple stew recipe I make frequently.
Ingredients:- [serves 3]
Chicken pieces [I used 6 chicken thighs]
3 red onions
1 tomato
Dhania/ coriander
2 large avocados
100 grams sweet peas
1 green pepper [hoho]
Curry powder
Black pepper
1 packet tomato paste/ 4 tablespoons tomato paste
Cayenne pepper
1 lemon
Prepare Yellow rice by using two cups rice, 4 cups water, a few drops vegetable oil, and one tablespoon turmeric powder.
For the guacamole:
Start off by chopping two onions.
Follow by washing and peeling the avocados.
Chop them in cubes and mix with the onions.
Finish off by washing and chopping 1 tomato. Use an orange juicer to extract all the juice from the lemon. Sprinkle over the guacamole. The lemon helps not only with the acidic taste but also in preventing avocados from blackening. Put aside.
For the chicken stew:
Wash and chop the sweet peas and the green pepper.
Take about 5 Dhania/ coriander sticks and cut off the leaves to chop them.
Chop the onions and garlic and cook with vegetable/olive oil. Add the chopped veggies.
After a few minutes, add the chicken thighs and allow to cook for a good 5 minutes while stirring. Add chopped dhania/ coriander.
Add the tomato paste, salt to taste, black pepper and cayenne pepper.
Stir well and add water to cover and leave to cook for 15 -20 minutes while stirring occasionally.
Make sure stew is nice and thick. If it isn't too thick add some tomato paste, about 3 tablespoons.
Once the stew is done, serve with yellow rice and guacamole.
