Akoho Sy Voanio

This is a dish one of my students gave me the recipe for. It is actually a Chicken with Coconut and Rice dish originally eaten in Madagascar. I found it absolutely delicious!

Ingredients:
1 Chicken (I just used three chicken breasts)
1 Can unsweetened coconut milk
2 Tomatoes
2 Onions
2-4 cloves garlic
20 grams ginger
Oil, salt and pepper

1. Cut chicken into small pieces and sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper to taste
2. Slice the tomatoes into small cubes and slice the onions
3. Mince the garlic and ginger
4. Add a small amount of oil to a frying pan. Saute the chicken over medium heat, until done.
5. Add the onions to the pan. Continue stirring over medium heat until the onions are brown.
6. Add the ginger, tomatoes, and garlic to the pan. Saute briefly over medium heat.
7. Add the coconut milk and mix well. Simmer over a low heat for thirty minutes

Serve with rice, I prefer brown rice. I also used a method of molding my rice on my plate. Simply take a bowl that holds one cup. Fill it with water then pour out the water. Pack the rice into the bowl. Invert the bowl of rice onto your plate then slowly lift the bowl. Your rice will form a perfect dome on your plate! It's fancy and appetizing!
