Instructions
 

  • Start by boiling the chicken adding very little water to concentrate the flavour. Add chopped onions and chicken powder and cook for 20 minutes.
  • Whilst the chicken is cooking, let's prepare the vegetables. Chopped all the vegetables (onion, aubergine, courgette, carrots mangetout, baby corn, red bell pepper, scotch bonnet) and set aside.
  • In a large pot, heat up enough olive oil to cover the base and then add the onions, garlic and scotch bonnet frying for a minute. Add the tomato puree and combine.
  • Then add the vegetables that take the longest to cook: aubergine, carrots and courgette. Add salt, chicken powder and black pepper and stir fry for 5 minutes.
  • Next add the mangetout, baby corn and red bell pepper and stir fry for 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and pulled chicken. Add dried thyme. If you want you and prawns as well!
  • Cover and allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
  • If juice is lacking add a bit of water. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Taste and add more seasoning accordingly. Serve with rice and enjoy!
