Stewed Chicken
HB-2215 · Hand-built original · Grenadian
Meet Stewed Chicken, the dish that sums up everything good about Grenadian home cooking. Chicken is browned until burnished, then left to bubble away with curry powder, thyme, tomatoes and a handful of bright vegetables until it falls apart at the touch of a fork. It is slow food in the best sense, unhurried, generous and full of the warm, spicy character of the Caribbean. Serve it over rice or pasta and dinner turns into an island escape.
