Carl Weathers’ Stew with Chicken, Sweet Potatoes, Coconut Milk, and Curry
Carl Weathers gives good advice. I took chicken with bones, threw it in a pot, added some broth, and a (sweet) potato, and baby, I had a stew going for my Arrested Development party. It may not look like much (no stew does), but even with it’s short cooking time it’s deeply flavorful, and manages to be a little exotic without losing it’s “comfort food” value. The coconut milk and curry go along way to make it special. This stew was the surprise hit of the night!
