COOKING ANGOLA: Muamba de Galinha 🇦🇴 

From Cameroon here. Palm oil was sustainable when we used it only for cooking (it's like olive oil. How much can you plant for home food consumption really). It's every other use that has come to destroy the environment: soaps, packaged foods etc. The red oil means it's not been overly processed and is more than likely from a local non intensive operation. I appreciate you making the effort.

amazing as an angolan citizen i must say you did great, well done on trying 👏👏👏

As an Angolan 🇦🇴 this is an okay attempt I’ll give it to you for trying our food. Is called funge. (Funji) And thanks for educating others on the history of our country.

Jamie - if you put a damp cloth under your cutting board it won’t slip around on the counter. And you won’t scare me half to death that you’re going to slice your finger off. Love you!

Hi, Jamie! There is a bit of a difference between white and black pepper, though for the amount needed in this recipe, I doubt it made a difference. White pepper is milder than black pepper, which tends to have a little bit of a “bite” to its heat. White pepper also has a citrusy taste to it. White pepper is often used more for its color than its flavor, in that if a dish is a light colored dish and you don’t want little black specks showing, you would likely choose white pepper. I actually only recently learned this myself watching one of the televised cooking shows I frequently watch.

The fact that we mostly use palm oil here in Malaysia, and we are one of the biggest palm oil source...and yes our forest are destroyed indeed...i wish i can do more...im learning a lot about it, maybe one day...

Never cooked with red palm oil, but it made the best batch of soap that I've ever done! The most luxurious lather I've ever experienced 🥰

Congratulations Jamie on trying boiled okra. 👏 I'm a southern girl and love okra prepared in every way. At home, if it isn't boiled too vigorously to break the pod it won't become slimy. Fried is delish.

Loved this episode and seeing you go out of your way to get something sustainable. ❤️

Thank you so much for this! Great video 🇦🇴❤️💛🖤!

Thanks for the effort and specially for promoting one of our main dish. However, it caught my attention because we never add butternut squash to this kind of dish. We'd add some type of green leaf as callaloo, spinach to the sauce, collard green or cabbage as a side dish. We never fry the chicken on palm oil but we'd fry the tomatoes, garlic and onion and we don't use paprika as spice. All other ingredients are pretty much accurate. Anyway, thanks for the effort. We Angolans love our "Moamba de galinha" com funge. 🎉

Jaime and all my fellow anti-anti-s , I enjoy piquant food and over the years I had to find a way to not offend the folks who don't enjoy very spicey food and yet satisfy my fellow chili-heads. My solution was to cook the chilies in the dish totally intact. no chopping no piercing no nothing. and removing them when soft (but not burst open) and chopping them up to serve seperately. the main dish has no piquancy that way (but a touch of the pepper flavor) and those who want spicey can add chopped chili to their heart's content. Hope this is a useful tip. All the best Jim Oaxaca Mexico

Thanks for the chuckles every time, plus you throw in a great recipe…what’s not to like!

A love Angola 🇦🇴

Always delighted to watch you! Amazing video ☺️ here in Portugal we have similar dish!

You asked for suggestions, and I thought maybe lamb shanks when you get to New Zealand. I love your channel.

i love this series! looking forward to you making some palestinian food, maybe msakhan or mjadara with knafeh for dessert

Oh how I love okra … and chicken skin! This looks awesome, as usual.

Palm oil is widely used across African dishes, as Angolan I would give you 5 out of 10, 5 for good attempt. Why don’t you try calulu de peixe very healthy and easy to make :4 thick fillets of corvina fish (or other type of fresh and thick fish) 4 fillets of dried croaker fish (can be another type of fish) 300 g of okra 2 eggplants 1 medium onion chopped 3 cloves of garlic 1 bay leaf 2 packages of spinach 1/2 dl of palm oil 1 medium tomato Scale the 4 slices of fresh fish and also of dried fish. Crush the 3 cloves of garlic and season the whole fish. You don't need to let it rest. Remove the ends of the okra. Peel the eggplants and cut them into squares and place both in a bowl of water. Remove the skin from the onion and grate it. Do the same with the tomato. Wash the spinach with plenty of water and reserve it as you did with the other ingredients until the fish is ready. In a wide pan, start by placing a part of the grated onion, a part of the chopped tomato, the fish steaks (fresh and dried), the spinach, the bay leaf, the squared eggplant, the rest of the onion, the tomato and top the palm oil. Place over medium heat so that all the ingredients cook slowly. Do not add water as the ingredients used already contain a lot of water. After 30 minutes add the okra. Let it cook for about 40 minutes, always taking care that the fish does not fall apart. You should thicken the calulu sauce with corn flour or manioc flour. Dissolve a tablespoon of flour (from the indicated ones) in water and mix it with the stew. Leave it on the fire for another 2 minutes. Remove from the pan. Good luck 🥰

Hi fom Quebec, Canada✌ Thank you for the palm oil info. It is very important to our No Palm Oil family. I cook everything I can, as to Not Purchase products/food containing Palm Oil.

Wait!!! Isn't that muamba de denden ? And since when we started to use a pumpkin in it? I'm so confused. This gives mixed feelings.

If you pierce the butternut squash skin and then microwave it for 5 mins, it's much easier to peel!!

This looks delish!

Jamie make it simpler as we actually do in Angola. Buy well done looks delicious 😋

This was a strange moamba recipe. And the way you put it together was also odd. For example, never ever put garlic before onions! You will burn the garlic ages before the onions become soft. That is a cooking basic. There are many different variations of moamba depending on what region of Angola you are from but it is always served with funge. The contrast of the sticky bland funge with the goopy spicy moaba is the best part of eating the dish. Some people make a variation of funge with corn flour which is easier to make but in my opinion not nearly as good. As for the person who mentioned that the main ingredient is peanut butter that is only true in certain regions. It is truly delicious and resembles closely a dish from Guine Bissau which is called Caldo Mancarra. But in my experience the form of moamba without peanut butter is much more common. I've only ever eaten it once with pumpkin. The chicken, onion, garlic, malagueta, palm oil, and okra with just salt is the base for most variations. Good luck with the rest of the alphabet.

that looked so deliciousssssss

Funge can also be made with corn flour. 😘

Can't wait for my country Bulgaria ❤❤❤

That looks amazing!!!! 😍

This dish btw is not influence by portugese cooking, just want to mention that. This is cooked in most place I've been in West Central Africa ( Guinea Equiatorial / Cameroon / Gabon / Sao Tome ). Same dish but by many different names. I personally cook this with goat/mutton and really beef broth not maggie bullion for example.

When you get to making a dish from South Korea, please do Budae Jjigae A.K.A Army stew or army base stew. And when you make a dish from the Philippines, please do Rellenong Bangus A.K.A Filipino Stuffed Milkfish.

As you already have red palm oil, maybe you can do acarajé (a famous street food from Bahia, in Brazil). Is a little work to do… but is delicious.

You're my favorite!!! 🌸

Pro tip...spread a dampened kitchen towel underneath your cutting board and it will never slide around while you cut and chop.

Cassava flour is tapioca or yucca root

OMG! Get everything in place first... Jamie is growing up! Mise en place now. You'll find similar stews in a few countries when you look. I am surprised you don't know Okra at all. It's used in Louisiana's gumbos. When you get to Senegal you'll find something similar to this particular dish called Suppa Kandja. You'll have sauce graine from Côte d'Ivoire that uses palm oil so keep it around. Smh at you not having CASSAVA and not even knowing what it is...If you want to make pan de queijo from Brazil you'll need it. Very simple and tasty recipe. May I suggest you plan a few countries in advance that way you know which dishes to try based on "reusability" of ingredients? You should be able to find ways to use this palm oil easily going through west African recipes. Edited to add: most African countries have some type of fufu (pronounce foofoo). You better learn how to make it. It's a crucial part of the dish. If you do Chad without making "la boule" or Kenya without making Ugali then you've missed something big.

As an Angolan sitizen u tryed it but u still have to find how to actually make it and is funge de muamba that you call

NAPALM: naptha and palm oil.

Sorry is not the teal moamba i know . Is just oil in there . Where is the palm tree puree ? Oil is one thing and palm tree puree is another . Pal tree puree makes the mosmba creamier and gorgeous and with okra is a superb dish with all the other trimmings of course

Red palm oil is amazing, I can honestly see why palm oil became such an insanely overproduced commodity. The good-for-earth stuff is pricey but worth it. It's my favorite neutral oil to work with, good for frying, full of carotenoids and shit, has a taste but not a strong one, high smoke point, healthy and deliciously saturated

amei

Made this and the Barbados Macaroni Pie tonight!

Angolan here. 😂😂😂 man I don’t know what’s the name of this dish but it’s definitely not boamba de galinha and not Angolan 😂 but looks delicious so I will try 👌👍🏼

That looks delicious!

the binging continues

Now that you've discovered okra, try making gumbo, though I don't think in this series.

Was the squash cooked enough? Typically, it takes a while to cook until fork tender. But still, this dish would be amazing with basmati rice or saffron rice!

Wowwwwwwww

In a word, YUM.

looks yummm *_*

The Yoruban word for okra is "gumbo". Close to Muamba?

You should do banitsa for bulgaria

:) I’d like to see You cook my Louisiana Smoked Turkey & Sausage Gumbo/I’ve hint how to make okra not slimy

Looks bomb

So as an African Angolan/Congolese/American person may be 2 years late but it’s served with fufu which by our standards im sure would be hard to Differentiate. But let me know if any questions about what was made because it was very badly done in my eyes. Sorry.

I'm surprised. I didn't think you'd like the okra.

Try cooking food from Romania🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴

Did he say okra was a new to him vegetable? I thought that everyone had eaten okra before!? Am I crazy? Is it not that popular?

make sure next time wash the thicken, before cook

Which type of muamba is this?

Não Não não isso não tá certo Sou Angolana e não é assim que faz se Moamba de galinha rija.

Okra's slime factor puts me off.

Meu Deus esse prato nao e angolano nao estraga a nossa culinária que e muito rica pela diversidade de culturas angolanas

Muamba literally means peanut butter, so where is it??

You are cooking muamba de galinha and you don’t use the muamba “peanut butter” 😂 I’m from Angola and we don’t cook like that

🇩🇿❤️

Put a damp cloth under your cutting booooard🎵🎶

Palm oil basically has no taste: if you want to do things right, use, you know, literally any other tasteless oil. Also, mate...sharpen your knives.

As tasty as this looks, please try remaking this dish . Nice attempt but this is nowhere near how it's made . Not sure why ppl keep using this random recipe they found on RU-vid. The main ingredient is peanut butter 😭😅🤣 it's literally in the name of the dish.

Jamie, I really love your channel. You're so humble and always persevere. But this video, man. You just cannot pass one habanero through a pot of food and call it "mega hot." That's an impossibility. That level of spice intolerance is an impediment as a chef. I would love to watch you do something you have barely touched upon. Explore the food of Southeast Asia. Maybe it will help you with your spice issues.

Não é preciso quiabo 💀💀💀💀💀💀

Pelo menos tentaste

Am sorry mate, but this is not Muamba de Galinha. Am Angolan and we do not cook like this. Nice attempt though.

Very interesting video, I do not where this recipe was created but that's definitely not close to the real one. If you write the recipe name on youtube you will find many videos, unfortunately only in Portuguese... I will leave a video on the real recipe, take a look and you will see how different it is, hope it helps. Good you tried something new to you ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TfbZO8567HU.html

WHEN YOU GET TO iTALY, PLEASE COOK bOLOGNESE AND USE THE RECIPE FROM mARCELLA hAZAN. You will not regret it.

this food is not from angola🇦🇴 ,you are lying😭😭😭😭😭😡😡😡👎👎👎👎

Bro is Great but it aint muamba

6:03 ... "find a place for the okra" .... like the trash bin

another millenium bs right here

Não .....isso nãoé muamba

U made it very rong but ok

Okra 🤢🤢🤮🤢🤮

If I was you I would be equally concerned about the canola oil and bullion cubes …very unhealthy for your body. Olive oil avocado oil and coconut oil much better choice….boil a chicken better for the best chicken stock. Would never had addressed this but since you were concerned about the palm oil thought you might want to know other unhealthy foods. I do love your Chanel and watch most of vlogs. LA🇨🇦

Hey Jamie! Here is a national dish from Belarus: "дранікі" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potato_pancake. Also please consider using white-red-white flag of Belarus in your video. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Belarus#White-red-white_flag Belarusian people who are fighting against the dictatorship will appreciate it.
