|
Imoyo dishes are a fusion of West African and Brazilian cusine. They arose as a resut of the Portuguese slave trade which, during the 15th Century took many West Africans to Brazil. Then, in the 19th Century some freed slaves returned and settled on the coast of Nigeria, bringing with them green bell peppers, olive oil and garlic, which were added as a component of Nigerian cuisine. Ingredients
4 tomatoes, quartered and de-seeded 
Chicken Imoyo II Preparation:Method:Place the chicken in a large pan or pot along with 750ml water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 15 minutes. At this point add the okra, tomatoes and chillies to the pot. Continue simmering for a further 10 minutes, or until the chicken is completely cooked through. Remove the chicken and vegetables from the pot and set aside to keep warm. Strain 500ml of the stock from the pot into a smaller pan then add the chilli powder, garlic, tomato paste, lemon juice, oil and salt. Bring to a boil and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
