A chicken stew with plantain, vegetables and no spices other than salt and pepper. I have spices falling out of all of my cabinets. I guess they will have to wait for the next recipe. Despite not having spices (besides the S&P) this dish did have good flavor. The plantain really works with the chicken in this simple one pot meal.
Ingredients
4 chicken thighs
2 onions, chopped
2 leeks (white and green parts), thinly sliced
4 green bell peppers, seeded and cut
4 tomatoes peeled, seeded, and diced
5 celery stalks chopped (including leaves)
4 plantain bananas, peeled, cut in half lengthwise and then cut in half
10 oz. spinach, fresh or frozen
3 tablespoons tomato paste
4 tablespoons sunflower oil
1 hot pepper (optional)
Instructions
In a pot with hot oil, sear chicken over medium-high heat to color on all sides.
Add onion, leeks and peppers. Stir and leave about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the tomatoes, celery and tomato paste and mix well. Cook on medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring regularly.
Cover with water, salt, pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes.
Then remove 2 pieces of chicken, place the plantains, cover them with the spinach and put the chicken back on top. Add water if necessary so that the bananas are fully submerged.
Cover, add the whole hot pepper, and simmer over low heat for about 25 minutes. The liquid should not evaporate too much during cooking, as there should be a lot of sauce left.

With Tim and his green peppers- I’m sure he would like this. Does Kim receive your recipes? For me, I would have all I could do to spell this let alone attempt to cook. Dad
