Moulah Koudou with Boule
Moulah Koudou is a hearty okra and meat stew, often made with beef or lamb, simmered in a flavorful tomato-based broth. It's a popular dish in Chad, known for its rich texture and satisfying taste. It is traditionally served with Boule, a staple porridge made from millet or sorghum flour, which is shaped into balls and used to scoop up the stew.

👨🍳 Instruções
- 1
For the Moulah Koudou: Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- 2
Add the meat to the pot and brown it on all sides. Drain off any excess fat.
- 3
Stir in the minced garlic, crushed tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- 4
Pour in the water or broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the meat is tender.
- 5
Add the sliced okra to the stew. Cover and continue to simmer for another 20-30 minutes, or until the okra is tender and the stew has thickened. Adjust seasoning if needed.
- 6
While the stew is simmering, prepare the Boule: In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Gradually whisk in the millet or sorghum flour, stirring constantly to prevent lumps, until a thick, stiff porridge forms.
- 7
Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the porridge is cooked through. If it becomes too thick, add a little more water.
- 8
Once the Boule has reached a thick, dough-like consistency, remove it from the heat. Shape it into small balls or serve directly from the pot.

Serve the Moulah Koudou hot, with the Boule on the side for scooping.
