CHICKENS WITH OKRAS
Ingredients
• 2 small chickens
• 1 ½ kilo okras
• ½ glass oil
• 1 medium dried onion
• 3/4 kilo mature tomatoes
• ½ glass vinegar
• Salt
• Pepper
Put the okras in a container to wash them. Clean them,
cutting carefully -like the pencil's nose - the stem,
so that you don't cut the okra. Put the okras on a baking
tray and sprinkle with vinegar and salt. Leave them there
for 2 hours.
Clean, wash and singe the chickens. Chop them in pieces.
Add salt and pepper and leave them to drain. Cut the onion
in small slices. Heat oil in a casserole and sautee the
onion and the chicken parts.
Add the sliced tomatoes, salt, pepper, 2 glasses of warm
water and leave on the boil for at least 1 hour. Then,
add the okras, if needed some warm water, and leave on
the boil on a low fire, until only the sauce is left.
Suggestion: You can also fry the okras. You will leave
the meat to boil for 45 minutes so that you have enough
sauce, because once the okras are ready, they boil faster
and don't drink up as much water.
