MAIN INGREDIENTS
Despite its name, Liberian chicken gravy is a flavorful, scrumptious stew that is traditionally prepared only for special occasions because meat is quite expensive for the average Liberian household. The stew typically consists of chicken pieces, shrimp, green beans, bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, and chicken stock.
While the dish is simmering, it is often flavored with garlic, ginger, hot peppers, and parsley. When the chicken gravy is ready to be served, it is usually paired with white rice on the side.
Liberian cabbage stew, as the name suggests, is a traditional stew from Liberia. It's made with a combination of cabbage, chicken, Maggi cubes, meat tenderizer, beef, tomato paste, black pepper, chicken bouillon, onions, and vegetable oil. The meat is fried together in oil until golden brown.
The remaining ingredients are then added to the pot and the stew is simmered until it thickens and the ingredients become tender. It's recommended to watch the stew carefully to prevent the ingredients from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Torborgee is a spicy and bitter Liberian stew made with torborgee beans and palm oil. The dish is often enriched by the addition of dried meat, chicken, pork, or fish, and it is usually associated with the Lorma people inhabiting the area of Lofa County in Liberia.
It is said that there are three varieties of torborgee: beans torborgee, pepper torborgee, and bitter-ball torborgee.
