About Chicken Stew

West Africa Cooks publishes this chicken stew with attribution to Pamela Greene’s Favourite Sierra Leone Recipes. Chicken pieces are browned before simmering with onion, pepper, tomato purée, thyme and water.

Tomato and onion give the sauce its savoury vegetable base. Thyme adds an herbal note, with salt and the source’s unspecified pepper providing seasoning.

The chicken cooks until tender in the stew, with water added to control the sauce. Rice and a green vegetable are selected from the serving suggestions, keeping the stew separate from its accompaniments.
