West African Chicken Soup Stew Recipe

West African Chicken Soup Stew Recipe

Ingredients

• Serving Size : 1
• 1 1/2 pounds chicken – cut up
• 1 onion – chopped
• 1 pound mushrooms – chopped
• 1 bunch collard greens – or spinach or other
• 6 ounces tomato paste
• west African red pepper
• salt

Method

1. Stem and chop greens.
2. Put chicken, onion and mushrooms in soup pot.
3. Add enough water to just barely cover ingredients.
4. Turn on medium-high heat.
5. Cover and cook while you’re washing and chopping the greens, about 10 minutes.
6. Add salt, red pepper and tomato paste.
7. Boil for about another 5 or 10 minutes.
8. Add greens and replace lid, steaming greens and stirring them in.
9. Variations: sometimes we add some exotic ingredients like smoked fish and/or ground egusi (which is a kind of melon seed), but it’s perfectly tasty without these additions.
10. This is traditionally served with “fufu” which is a doughy starch made variously from gari (roasted, fermented, ground cassava), or from semolina flour or from various combinations of Bisquick, potato Buds, potato starch, etc.
11. It’s also good over rice.
