Yum....for something a little different. If you like heat add a little hot pepper sauce. Serve over rice. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipe...qs=raid:1964542 <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> Contessa

I made something very similar to this a few months ago; I think the recipe was from Eating Well magazine. It was tasty, although I would have liked it a little hotter (spice-wise). Thanks for reminding me..I might just try this version!

I spent several weeks in Mali with a Malian friend, and I enjoyed many stews similar to this. However, in West Africa 2 pounds of chicken would be stretched MUCH further than 6 servings! The focus of the dishes we ate were the vegetables; if there was meat involved, it was merely an accent.
If you want a more veggie-heavy stew (or even leave out the chicken for a vegetarian dish) try adding potatoes or sweet potatoes, cabbage, greens (spinach works, but collard or mustard greens are sturdier), turnips, or carrots. Okra is another common addition, if you like it (I don't!) A generous dose of fresh grated ginger is also a delicious addition. If making this without meat, you can add protein by serving it with sliced or quartered hard-boiled eggs.
For a different spin, try serving over plain couscous.
Thanks for reminding me of this dish. I haven't made it in a while, but I think I will soon!

Good point, you can tell this is the American version. We do eat too much meat in this country. I like to add squash or sweet potatoes, too. This not only 'spreads out' the meal but adds a nice sweetness to the dish. It could still be served with a little rice for the juices....yum!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> Contessa
