      Before cooking

  • Wash and cut the whole chicken into pieces. Place in a pot, add chopped spring onions, stock cubes and thyme. Add water to cover the contents of the pot and start cooking.
  • Then add salt to taste and top up the water to the same level as the contents if necessary.
  • Add chopped tomatoes and vegetable oil when it boils, then cover and cook for fifteen minutes.
  • Add the carrots and cook for five minutes.
  • Then your potato puree, chopped bell peppers, cabbage, ugwu leaves, and then stir, cover and allow to cook on high heat for five minutes. Add sauce to taste and you’re ready to serve.

Those who want the sauce to be thicker can achieve this by increasing the amount of potatoes to puree. For better results, use the bottom part of the puree and throw away the top where it’s frothy.
