Stewed Chicken

Ingredients: 1 chicken (2 -3 lbs), cut up in 1/8 or 1/16, seasoned and marinated for at least an hour 3 cloves garlic, chopped 3 tbsp brown sugar 1 small onion, chopped 1 sprig chive, chopped 2 sprigs fine leaf thyme, chopped 2 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 tsp tomato paste or ketchup if you like green seasoning (blended shadow benny, celery and chive) salt (to taste) hot pepper (to taste) water Directions: Season meat by mixing in a large bowl with green seasonings, garlic and onion Heat a deep heavy pot on a medium fire. Add the sugar to the pot until it is nice and golden brown. Add the seasoned meat and about 1/4 cup 0f water. Turn mixture until the meat is nice and coated. Cover the pot and let simmer for about 5 -10 minutes. Notice how the meat ‘springs’ water. Burn off a little of the excess water. Add 1 1/2 cups of water to just cover the chicken. Add salt, pepper and chopped herbs. Cook for about about 25 – 30 mins or until the meat is tender. You may add a tablespoon of tomato ketchup for taste.
