Chicken Dish From Netherlands Antilles Original Food

CHICKEN DISH FROM NETHERLANDS ANTILLES - ORIGINAL

Steps:

• Cut the wings at the joints so you have 3 pieces, or simply use drumsticks. You can skin the chicken if you want to, we never do. Cut the bell peppers and onions in strips. Peel the garlic and mash it up.
• Put some oil, butter or even pam in a medium hot skillet(a large and deep skillet!) Add the chicken and cook until the chicken seems to get done some.
• Add the onions, garlic and bell peppers and stir-fry the whole lot for a while to add some color to the vegetables.
• Cut the stewed tomatoes in smaller bits and add to the dish along with the tomato paste, fill the empty cans with water and add also. Add some sambal (1 teaspoon in our version) or hot sauce. Add stock cubes (one or two is usually enough, again, this is something to do to taste).
• Let the whole thing simmer for about 15 minutes, which gives you time to cook some rice with it ;).
• Taste, add salt and sambal if needed. add a pinch of sugar if the tomatoes taste a bit tangy. Serve with rice.

• Toast the sesame and pumpkin seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat till lightly browned, stirring frequently.
