Tomato Powder can replace fresh tomatoes in a recipe, it can be used to enrich and thicken homemade stews and soups. All you need to do is to add a little at a time and taste as it goes, then add a little more until you reach your desired consistency and flavor. If you don’t want to go through the stress of blending and boiling fresh tomatoes for your jollof rice, tomato powder will add some vibrant reddish color to your jollof rice and sauce recipes. Here is how to make tomato powder stew and also see the video above on how to cook this simple stew practically.

Ingredients for tomato powder stew

1. 1 cup of tomato powder
2. 8 pieces of chicken breast
3. 1 medium onion
4. 2 bay leaves
5. 2 chicken stock cubes, crushed
6. 3 cloves of ginger, minced
7. 1 teaspoon of curry powder
8. ½ teaspoon of ground cayenne
9. 1 teaspoon of thyme
10. ½ cup of cooking oil


Directions

1. Rinse and season chicken with salt, thyme, garlic/ginger, onions, pepper and salt and cook until it is tender.
2. Separate chicken from the broth and leave to drain in a colander for few minutes.
3. Heat up a saucepan slightly, add about 3 cooking spoons of oil to it, add the chicken to the oil and fry for few minutes until it is golden.
4. Once the chicken is browned, take out excess oil and add some chopped onions and minced garlic and fry until fragrant.
5. Gently add the broth to the same pot with two bay leaves, season the content with the remaining curry, thyme, stock cube and bring the
content to a simmering.
6. Add the tomato powder to it and keep stirring to dissolve completely. It will become very thick so you have to reduce the heat to medium
low if it starts to splatter. You can add a little water or more of the chicken broth to adjust the consistency. Cook the stew for 10 minutes
until it
well incorporated.
7. Taste for salt and adjust any other seasoning and the liquid if necessary. Take the stew off from heat and serve with boiled rice or yam.

hey! mummy...... am hungry? rice and stew would be ok.....

Nice

If you are using your home made tomato powder from dehydrating and blending your fresh tomatoes. Then I'll say you're safe!

But if by chance some company in 9ja is manufacturing it-I'd not trust how safe it is oh.....I'm just saying though

Too much processed food is not very good as all the nutritional benefits are depleted. How long does it take to blend fresh tomatoes. Common!!Then companies will take this and be adding cancer causing chemicals and food colourings, are we getting Lazier as a nation? Nothing beats the taste of fresh food. Living in a city is no excuse.

Yeah so true, seems we are becoming so lazy. Nobody wants to take time to make food from scratch at home, always craving for already processed products.
