Receta Frango com Quiabo
If I can remember correctly I first saw this dish in one of the shows of Anthony Bourdain called Parts Unknown when he visited Brazil, most of the dishes served on that episode looked similar or have the same flavour to Filipino dishes hence I took note of them. Frango com Quiabo or Chicken with Okra is typical South-eastern Brazilian dish, especially popular in Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro where there is a big population of Afro-Brazilians. This dish and its main ingredient okra was first introduced but African slaves as early as 1500s. It’s such a delicious dish, the textures and flavours is such an easy thing to love, and like I said the flavour profile is similar to Filipino dishes so every Pinoy will easily love this. It closely resembles pinakbet due to the use of okra and tomatoes, and for my own Frango com Quiabo version I added sweet potatoes to have that sweet side to it.Frango com Quiabo Save PrintPrep time Cook time Total time Serves: 4Ingredients1 kg chicken thighs1 large sweet potato, cubed15 pcs okra, sliced2 cups chicken stock1 tbsp red wine vinegar2 large tomatoes, chopped1 green finger chilli, finely chopped1 large onion, chopped6 cloves garlic, mincedolive oilfreshly ground black peppersaltInstructionsSeason chicken with salt and freshly ground black pepper, rub it with the red wine vinegar and half of the minced garlic.
