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.
Today was provisions and stew tomatoes. For provisions I used blue dasheen, sweet potato and green fig. The green fig was boiled with skin on and that make it easier to peel. I also boiled some plantain. The tomatoes were sauteed in golden ray with celery, chive, parsley, shadon beni and garlic. I added water so I would have enough sauce for the provisions. I like cooking in the early morning when the place is quiet and cool. I also have tamarind sauce as a condiment. Ital is vital.
