Chicken Massalé
rating :

Ingredients :

(for 4 personnes)
- 1 chicken (1,5kg)
- 2 local onions
- 3 tomatoes
- 6 garlic cloves
- 2 cloves
- 1 small piece of ginger
- 3 tbsp “massalé”
- 2 “calou pile” stalks
- Salt, pepper and chives

Method :

Cut the chicken into small bite-size chunks and thinly slice the onions.
Crush the garlic together with the salt, pepper, ginger and cloves into a paste. Next, dice the tomatoes.
Heat a pan over a medium heat, add the chicken pieces and brown them lightly. Then, add the thinly sliced onions and sear for a further 3 minutes.
Add the crushed condiments and simmer gently for 2 minutes.
Next, stir the tomatoes and “massalé” in with the other ingredients.
Once the tomatoes are cooked through, pour some water over them and simmer over a low heat. After 10 minutes, add the “calou pile” leaves.
Cook until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Garnish with finely chopped chives before serving.
