This dish is prepared every Christmas by SOS mothers at the SOS Children’s Village in Lubango, Angola. It’s a holiday favorite and is sure to become yours too! This dish is made in one large pot, making it super savory and easy to put together for any family meal.

 

Did you know?  Angola has one of the youngest populations in the world: nearly 70 percent of the population is below age 24.

 

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 whole chicken
  • 1 large onion
  • 2 ripe tomatoes

  • 1 lb. okra

 

Tools:

  • Large pot

 

 

Directions:

1. Simmer chicken in water, being careful not to boil the chicken. Season the chicken as desired. Tip: We recommend garlic, salt, black pepper, lemon or vinegar.
