👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken pieces on all sides until golden. Remove chicken and set aside.

In the same pot, add chopped onions and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- 3
Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped scotch bonnet pepper (if using). Cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Stir in the crushed tomatoes and dried thyme. Cook for 5-10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- 5
Return the browned chicken to the pot. Add the palm nut cream and 1 cup of water. Stir well to combine.
- 6
Bring the stew to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 1 hour, or until the chicken is tender and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally.
- 7
While the stew simmers, prepare the fufu according to package directions. Cook the spinach or greens until wilted.
- 8
Taste the stew and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve the Poulet à la Moambé Nouvelle hot with fufu and a side of greens.
💡 Consigli Professionali
- ✓For a richer flavor, marinate the chicken in salt, pepper, and a little garlic overnight.
- ✓If using fresh palm nuts, the process of extracting the cream is more involved but yields a superior taste.
- ✓Don't rush the simmering process; slow cooking allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
