Uzbekistan Stew

A meal for 4-6 people, easy to make and has an unusual but very tasty flavor.

1. Oil the bottom of a large pot or crockpot.

2. Skin a whole chicken and cut the meat off of the bones and layer in the bottom of the pot.

3. Peel 6 potatoes and cut in quarters and lay in the pot on top of the chicken.

4. The next layer will be a ½ head purple or white cabbage, sliced or shredded and place on top.

5. Thinly slice 2 onions and layer on top of the cabbage.

6. Thinly slice 2 green, red or yellow peppers and lay on top of onions.

7. Slice 2-3 tomatoes and place on peppers.

8. Pour 1-2 cans tomato sauce or puree on top of tomatoes making sure all the food is covered.

9. In between your layers use the following spices: basil, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper and bay leaves (which you remove when the meal is cooked) for taste.

10. Cover and cook at least 2 hours slowly.
