BEST of Angola food : Moamba de Galinha !

Read our previous posting: “Best of Adorra food : Escudella!”

Moamba de Galinha, which in the portuguese language means chicken stew, is the national dish of Angola.

This very tasty dish is usually prepared with palm oil, a major crop of Angola. If you prefer not to use the traditional palm oil for the recipe, you can substitute a high temperature cooking oil of your choice.
