Steps

2 hours

1

Lay out all your ingredients to get ready to cook.
2

Cut the bell peppers, tomatoes, and onions into squares.
3

Remove the stem from the habanero and add it whole. Add the 14 garlic cloves and the two chicken bouillon cubes, preferably all-natural.
4

Add the tablespoon of ginger, the two tablespoons of curry powder, and the half cup of tomato paste.
5

This is how your veggie mix should look—look at those colors!
6

Pour a splash of oil into a pot and heat over medium.
7

Blend the vegetables in batches, adding just a little oil if needed, but no water. Pour each batch into the pot, cover, and let it cook for about 30 minutes until the liquid evaporates.
8

Heat some oil in a skillet and sear the chicken until golden brown.
9

In another pot, add 3 tablespoons of the stew with a ladle, place the chicken on top, then add another 2 or 3 tablespoons of stew. Add 1 cup of chicken broth (about 240 ml), cover, and cook the chicken for about 20 minutes.
10

Meanwhile, slice the plantains and fry them until golden.
11

For the rice, combine 2 cups of rice, 2 cups of chicken broth (about 475 ml), and 2 tablespoons of the stew in a pot. Cover and cook until the rice is done.

Serve and enjoy! You can garnish with chopped green onions for a pop of color.
