A Spicy Simple Caribbean Stew At Home | Quarantine Cooking

Kwame Onwuachi of Kith/Kin in Washington D.C. is at home cooking a beloved dish from his childhood: brown stew chicken. This relatively quick and simple stew comes from the Caribbean and includes ingredients like scotch bonnet peppers, onions, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, and browning seasoning, which lends the dish its rich flavor and color.

This is a staple in many Caribbean countries not only Jamaica, make it and try it out, you'll love it. 🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩

[@jademapson6513]

@Mark Leviathan you did it wrong then lol no other answer to that. But on a serious note you probably added to much browing, or browned to sugar too much.

[@neattylulu9817]

Did he wash that chicken with some lime/lemon before he seasoned it?

[@jademapson6513]

@@neattylulu9817 somehow I feel like he didn't.

[@SexcGhirl]

Repping from Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 .....usually we would cut the chicken into smaller pieces so it absorbs the flavour better. If you want to make this and don't have chicken stock, feel free to use water. Love love Love how authentic this is ♥️🇯🇲

[@JuiceAgain]

SexcGhirl I agree on cutting the chicken smaller plus it’ll cook quicker and evenly.

[@toriicha5678]

The fact that he scored all the chicken is the same as cutting it up plus it's not like he's making curry chicken and there actually 2 ways for doing it so whether he didnt cut it up are not it's still just as good I personally dont like when stew chicken is cut up but to each is own

[@dandaddavi]

Cut up chicken leaves you with bone fragments all over the stew, that feel like you cracked a tooth everytime you bite down lol I still love my Jamaicans though ❤

[@peanutinee]

Never had this dish before in my life and I don't have the sauces he had BUT I AM SUPER TEMPTED TO BUY THEM NOW TO MAKE IT

[@ageofrebelaquarian7516]

You don't need all those sauces. What some do is carmelized sugar. Add some sugar to hot oil and watch it come to a syrup/paste, then you add in your chicken with some water and stir. For more flavour add onions, garlic, pepper, salt, black pepper, and any seasonings you have

[@tessaclarke1242]

Christine go on amazon for “ gravy browning” if you can’t find it where you are and Pinterest is great for any recipe from any ethnicity

[@gabbisacha]

I enjoy making this meal for my family.

[@0117kirk9]

We make the same thing in Guyana, the only exception is we usually cut the meat into smaller chunks so it browns more evenly, and we have big families so cutting the meat into smaller a bits ensures everyone get a bite lol.

[@namienamie2167]

Jamaicans cut up the meat smaller too for the same reason. I don't where he got those big chunks from

I’ve made this dish but I got the recipe from a Jamaican friend. I omitted the scotch bonnet but it was still amazing.

In Trinidad we heat our sugar in the pot and after it starts to bubble we then throw the chicken on top which gives the brown colour to the meat.

I understand that the Caribbeans have a lot of experience cooking their enemies too.

[@kieferrampersad5912]

You'd be correct in assuming that we have experience cooking our enemies. This recipe is reserved for chicken or pork and on occassion beef. Our enemies are barbecued so you would be hard pressed to find them in a pot of brown stew. But anything goes when it comes to cooking as an art.

As a Trinidadian, it’s sounds weird when you say “brown stew chicken” instead of “stew chicken”

[@LuClu81]

Meghan Rambert he might be of Jamaican descent...I think they’re the only one island in the Caribbean who says it that way.

[@LuClu81]

Read and replied to your comment before he mentioned Jamaica.

[@macb7840]

@meghan rambert @LuClu81 Being from the Bahamas we also say Brown Stew, but i have heard other people in my country also call it stew chicken. I think it's just family culture, because within the Caribbean culture a lot of things have different names.

[@jaypratt2440]

Boomer Bah yeah it’s definitely a family thing bc Im from The Bahamas too and I’ve just known it as stew chicken

[@Stewy-xw9fz]

A lot of countries have stew chicken. Black Americans in the south cook stew chicken. Countries in Asia and Africa cook stew chicken. But when you say Brown stew chicken, people across the world knows that this dish is from the Caribbean. So it's not weird. It's smart of Jamaica, Bahamas and some of the other Caribbean islands to differentiate their cuisine from the rest of the world because a lot of these countries are copying Caribbean food and calling it something different. The lastest thing now is coconut rice with beans. They cannot cook Caribbean rice and peas so they they try copy it. Also, all of a sudden everybody in the world start to cook with coconut milk. That is a big thing now because they watching a lot of Caribbean cooking videos. So in today's world you have to put a signiture name on all of your meals, otherwise somebody out there is going to copy it, steal it.

Wow we Grenadians definitely make it differently but same applies...much Love to stew chicken which I made literally this weekend hehe
