Today we opted for stew chicken, red beans and rice. My mom's choice. The chicken was portioned out and seasoned and frozen. I did not want to wait for it to thaw so I placed the block of chicken pieces in the caramelized sugar just like that. I allowed it to bunje somewhat and then added water and then ketchup and then red beans from the tin. I already had the rice washed and then boiled. I bought an avocado but too bad it would not be ready for today's lunch. I was worried that the stew would be too dark but it turned out nicely brown in the end.
Mash is simple. Perfectly boiled potato pieces. Not too soft and not hard. Mash together with kerrygold butter and full cream milk. Butter first so that it can melt with the heat of the boiled potato. Any stew chicken recipe will do but add coconut milk and canned red beans that have been drained and rinsed. Add the beans at the start after browning so that it softens while the chicken cooks. Let the water boil down to a medium thick saucy texture. I did not have parsley but that would have made this better. Also golden ray butter was added to the stew chicken.
