Angola: Muamba de Galinha

Cuisine:

Ingredients

Directions

Share

Moamba de Galinha is Portuguese for Chicken in Muamba sauce.  No, I’m not practicing for my upcoming trip – Portuguese is the official language of Angola (Angola was a Portuguese colony until 1975).

The cuisine of Angola has also been significantly influenced from Portuguese imports. However this particular dish has African roots, and is similar to Congolese Poulet à la Moambé. The base is red palm oil, which I told you about when we visited the Republic of Congo. However, this Angolan stew has okra and butternut squash or pumpkin as well.

I cut back on the oil because it seemed excessive – the original recipe called for 1/2 cup. You can serve this over rice as I did, but it would be more traditionally served with funge, a cassava based porridge. It’s warm and flavorful and perfect for this colder weather!
