Hi Eya, My Chicken Tomato Stew And Pasta
My date didn’t happen as planned, however I decided to make me a Sunday special. I usually use fish and fresh tomato, but couldn’t get that.
Enjoy!
**I’m cooking for one(just me!)
Ingredients;
Chicken(half kilo),Garlic,2 medium sized Onion bulbs,2 small tin tomatoes, Curry,Thyme,Seasoning cubes,Salt,G-nut Oil,Crayfish,Fresh pepper, Golden Penny spaghetti
To-Do for chicken tomato stew with pasta:
- Wash chicken properly and yank off those unsightly soft feathers. Using mortar and
pestle-no thanks to PHCN- (otherwise you can blend) blend Crayfish and Fresh pepper, it gives a really sharp spicy yet homely taste and aroma.
- Slice onions(mine were pre-chilled some hours. This reduces that tendency to cry while slicing. Peel off,wash and dice Garlic. Wash tin, and empty tomato paste.
Put chicken in dry pot, add part of the sliced onions, the Garlic,Salt,Curry,thyme,seasoning cubes,part of the blended crayfish and fresh pepper. Allow to cook for 3-5mins.(Don’t add water just yet).
Then add some water and allow to cook another 10-15mins.
Now your stock is ready. You should be appreciating the Crayfish/F.Pepper blend!
Well, empty stock and chicken into container.- No need to wash the pot. Place back on fire, add some Oil(Gnut,Olive,sunflower, your choice), add your tomato paste, allow to fry on low heat to avoid it blackening, then add your other half of onions, and Crayfish/F.pepper blend, stir, then add stock, stir for 2mins, add chicken, maybe some extra oil, and viola!
Then get a fresh clean pot(mine doesn’t look so fresh though…hahaha!), add some water depending on amount of pasta you want to boil, allow to simmer a little, add some oil,salt, and I sprinkled some garlic in mine too!, add your pasta, allow to cook some minutes. You can drain if the pasta is cooked but water isn’t all absorbed. I did that.
Serve with preferred fruit, Red wine, or yoghurt.
This was fun.
I'm sorry your date didn't happen,
Your food is simple and quite basic, no insult intended, what caught my attention though is your beautiful sense of humour and warm personality, it shines through even through this post,
I can assure whoever that your date is that he missed!
I'm a girl too #nohomo# just an honest observation.
Stay sweet darling. HUGs
