3 lbs. chicken, cut into pieces
4 onions, diced
3 tomatoes, diced
6 cloves garlic
1 thyme stick (1/4 tsp dried)
½ tsp turmeric

pepper
oil for frying

Crush together garlic, salt, and pepper in a pestle. Brown chicken in oil (pour about ½ inch of oil in pot), add onions and thyme. Brown 3 minutes. Add garlic mixture and turmeric. After about 2 minutes add tomatoes. Once tomatoes are cooked add water until chicken is covered then simmer for 20-30 minutes, until it thickens up. Serve with white rice and beans.
