What if there was a chance to send scents through online. The scent of this wonderful stew from Cameroon is absolutely stunning! My entire home is filled with the aroma from the spices and vegetables. And the colors are just fantastic. They really go the Cameroons colors green, red and yellow. Guess their football team that will play in the World Cup in Brazil have been eating this casserole many times.
The name Poulet directeur général or Chicken general manager will assume that this stew usually served to those in higher social classes.

Start by rubbing the chicken with the spices and let get to marinate for a few hours. Then, and heat the oil and fry the potatoes until it is finished and coloring. take up and let those few drain the oil. Do the same with food bananas and even take it up and then drain.

I have just cooked this for my world cup coverage – what a lovely dish! Thanks for sharing it as it deserves spreading the word.
I have a bit more time to write up my version as I’ll be posting it on the 18th when Cameroon plays Croatia …
