Muamba de Galinha (Chicken Stew)
I don't know if I told you guys or not, but I am participating with a group of foodies who are making the National Dish, or other significant dish, of every country and/or territory. This is the National Dish of Angola. I did take some liberties with the recipe, such as, I used skinless, boneless chicken thighs (which cut the cooking time in half), and substituted green peas for the okra. I am not likely to be trying okra any time soon.
Muamba de Galinha (Angolan Chicken Stew)
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (1 lemon)
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 chicken, quartered
1/2 cup red palm oil
3 onions, chopped
1 chili pepper, left intact
3 tomatoes, quartered
1 lb butternut squash or 1 lb pumpkin, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 lb frozen okra, thawed
- Combine lemon juice, 2 of the garlic cloves, salt, and chili powder; rub all over chicken and marinate at least 1 hour up to overnight.
- Heat oil in a Dutch oven, over medium heat, and brown chicken on all sides, in batches, if necessary.
- Add onion, remaining garlic, chili pepper and tomatoes; bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer until chicken is tender, about 1 hour.
- Add squash, chicken broth, and okra; cook until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
- Serve with boiled yuca or over rice

Changing the okra to peas will have altered more than just a veggie... Okra has a natural thickening agent. You may need to add a little cornstarch to offset that substitution.
