CHICKEN MUAMBA

Chicken in a peanut/tomato sauce. Generally served with rice. This version is from the DR Congo. Don't let the peanuts with tomatoes throw you off it really is very tasty. (I learned to tell guests after they compliment it what's in it.)

Steps:

  • Simmer chicken covered in water with bouquette garnis until it's falling off the bone. Never boil meat, that makes it rubbery. Pull meat off the bone and reserve stock.
  • Saute onion, hot pepper and garlic in oil until translucent. Add tomato.
  • Stir in tomato paste and about 1/2 C stock.
  • Add peanut butter.
  • You should end up with a sauce that is similar in texture to spaghetti sauce. Add more stock if needed.
  • Return chicken to the pan and simmer for a few minutes to infuse the flavors.
  • Serve over rice.
  • That's the traditional method.
  • Now the "My in laws have shown up at the door to see little Joey, all I have is a couple of chicken breasts in the fridge and Joey is at that age where he asks adults things like "Mommy says that you are a busy body, how can I be one too?" version.
  • To your favorite spaghetti sauce add the peanut butter and chunks of chicken breasts and crushed red pepper to taste. While that simmers, put water on to boil for minute rice and get back out and keep an eye on Joey.

1 (3 1/2 lb) whole chickens, cut up (I will skip the killing and cleaning part that we go through)
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 large fresh tomato (you can peel and seed if you wish, we eat everything here)
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 small onion, diced
1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
2 tablespoons palm oil (available in Oriental markets, feel free to substitute with a healthier oil)
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 hot pepper (we use pili pili, a very hot pepper native to here, most like scotch bonnet in flavor but makes habe)

MUAMBA DE GALINHA (ANGOLAN CHICKEN STEW)

This is the national dish of Angola, at least according to Wikipedia. It gets is characteristic flavor from red palm oil which gets its color from lycopene. It is also antioxidant rich and studies have shown it can help prevent heart disease by regulating the balance between good and bad cholesterol. You can find it in health food stores. Serve this dish with boiled yuca (cassava) or over rice. Prep time does not include marinating time.

MUAMBA NSUSU (CONGO CHICKEN PEANUT SOUP)

I made this soup not spicy, but you can certainly add spice to it by adding the hot chili peppers or cayanne pepper(listed as optional!). This soup is like a peanut-sauce-meets-chicken-soup. It is very easy to make, and it is very exciting to make a traditional Congolese dish! The soup is very tasty; don't add too much salt or...

  • 1. Boil the chicken with the carrot in water enough to cover them. In the meantime, finely dice your onion (and chili, if you want to use it).
  • 2. Sautee the onion (and chilis) in the palm, or vegetable, oil. Set aside.
  • 3. When chicken is done, remove it from the pot and remove the bones. Shred your chicken. Set aside
  • 4. Into a separate pot, add peanut butter. Put on a low heat. Ladle in 3-4 ladles of stock, stirring often to make a smooth, soupy consistency. If it is not easy to stir, add more stock.
  • 5. When it is smooth, add this back to the stock pot. Add the rest of the ingredients into the soup and simmer until thickened. Garnish with crushed peanuts and chopped green onions.
