Number Of Ingredients 20

2# meat of choice (pork, chicken, lamb, goat)
7 lg garlic cloves
ground pepper, sea salt
1 or 2 chilis - jalapeno (see directions #3)
1 generous pinch of clove or allspice powder
wine vinegar
1 onion or more- yellow, red or both
4 chives
oil
generous pinches of ground coriander and ground "graines a roussir". (You can sub anise seed for the latter)
1-2 thyme sticks or 1 tsp dry thyme
2 green mangoes
1 med/lg eggplant (aubergine)
1 med (or 2-3 sm) zucchini
3 med potatoes (I use 1 lg white and 1 lg yam) - note: you can eliminate the potatoes and serve the stew with rice after the stew is complete.
2 1/2-3 tbsp Colombo powder
8 oz tomato sauce
6 sprigs parsley
water
juice of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • 1. Cut meat in stew size pieces along with 5 mashed garlic cloves, pepper, salt, 1 finely chopped chili, clove or allspice powder, wine vinegar. Marinate at least 30 mins. 2. Finely chop onion, chives and rest of garlic. In a fry pan with a little bit of oil, saute and add graines a roussir, coriander, and thyme. 3. Add meat with chopped mango and let meat brown. (Here's where you can add the 2nd chili, chopped well.) 4. Transfer to stew pot or dutch oven. 5. Grossly chop the eggplant, zucchini, peeled potatoes/yams. Add to the stew with Colombo powder, tomato sauce, parsley. 6. Add water to cover stew and cover the pot. Heat med-high to cook vegetables, then reduce heat and simmer for at least an hour, stirring from time to time. Adjust seasoning. 7. Add the lemon juice just before the end of cooking time. Serve with a hearty artisan bread and with yogurt/sour cream on the side for those faint of heart who need to cut.

This is a delicious and easy-to-follow recipe. I used chicken thighs instead of beef, and it turned out great. The sauce is flavorful and the meat is tender. I will definitely be making this again.
