Brad's West African Chicken, Collard Green, and Peanut Stew
Dealing with a pretty brutal cold, so I just wanted some comfort food. This turned out so good. Flavors were very intense. Of course I didn't invent this recipe, but this is my take on it. I used roasted nuts instead of peanut butter. And where I live I can't get my hands on scotch bonnets. I didn't want the flavor of habanero, so I used yellow chile peppers. Still have a little kick, but a nice non overpowering flavor.

Chicken and Okra stew Chicken and Okra stew
A southern U.S. favorite with a few twists: I serve it with lebanse style rice, and the spices have a twist. I added cinnamon and turmeric, which are not commonly used in the US for savory dishes! Also- the okra are kept whole, which keeps them from becoming slimy, and they stay tender. An easy, personal favorite, I hope you enjoy.Tips:-Put your onion in the freezer 15 minutes prior to chopping. Helps with tears :-)-Dont overcook chicken!-There are a lot of ingredients, so rather just imagine it in stages: brown chicken, cook veggies and spices, add liquids and simmer, cook rice, and add okra and chicken. Voila

1 2 3 Chicken Stew 1 2 3 Chicken Stew
This recipe has been one I run to when I need a good meal with little effort. Best is you can use what vegetables you have on hand. One pot to use and the flavor seems like it simmered all day. I do recommend the fresh herbs. There is a huge flavor difference cooking this with them. Get your meal started and put your feet up for 40 minutes. You got to love that!

Mike's Spicy Green Chilie Chicken Stew Mike's Spicy Green Chilie Chicken Stew
It was one of my 8 year old students graduation day today. For Callies' finale, she was charged with teaching her very own class - completely unassisted. While being video taped no less! This is the dish she chose at a moments notice. [i swear these little munchkins literally crave their red and green chiles here!]What I was impressed with was her immediate versitality. She found herself without fresh red and green tomatoes and celery so, she improvised with Rotell and celery seed. Yup! She didn't miss a beat! She also served her dish with baked Jalapeño Corn Bread. It was absolutely delicious! She also made her own tortilla chips! She wanted to make her own chicken stock from her Rotisserie chicken carcass but didn't have the time.All photos and instructions are posted solely by her tiny little adventurous fingers. Congratulations Callie!
