Manioc flour

Chicken and Black Bean Stew with Manioc

 2 cups low-sodium chicken stock

1 can Goya reduced-sodium black beans

½ cup manioc

Approx 1 cup leftover rotisserie chicken

1 sweet onion + 1 green bell pepper, chopped fine + sautéed

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp turmeric

1 tsp California pepper

1 tbsp minced garlic

1 tbsp tomato powder

¼ tsp allspice

1 bay leaf

This makes a seriously thick stew. The onion + pepper, added at the last minute, added nice flavor + texture, but threw off the previous seasoning balance and diluted the tangy sourness from the manioc. Next time I’ll double the stock, manioc, bay leaves + allspice.

I like it!
