Angolan Chicken Stew: Moamba De Galinha
Like many Angolan recipes, Moamba de Galinha exhibits this blending of native and Portuguese culinary influences. Red palm oil, a common ingredient in West African cooking that gives food its characteristic colour and flavour, is the crucial component that makes this dish stand out. The phrase "Moamba," which refers to the meal, is thought to have come from the Kimbundu word "mu'amba," which means "stew" or "gravy."
