Posted on January 18, 2014
Melissa Clark makes Chicken Stew with Sweet Plantains in this New York Times video. She seasons her chicken before cooking it using oregno, cumin, black pepper, chile powder and salt. She then adds some orange and lime zest.
Melissa says you can use plantains at any stage of ripeness. The plantains she selected are not completely dark, they still have some light spots on them. She browns the plantains in the chicken fat. After removing the plantains from the pot she adds onions, red pepper, chopped garlic, oregano, salt, water, orange juice and canned tomatoes. After simmering the chicken and plantains get added into the pot. It looks like a yummy stew.
