Servings
  • 6 chickens

Medium
  • Cook the chicken.
  • Blend with very little water (just enough to grind) the acuyo, 1 clove of garlic, 1/4 onion, salt or chicken bouillon powder, and cilantro to taste, and mix with the dough; it shouldn't be too watery, and add 3 tablespoons of oil or lard.
  • Cook the dough until it no longer sticks (we know it is no longer raw because it darkens in color, changes its flavor, and its texture is like playdough).
  • Next, we make a tomato broth; blend the tomato with the remaining garlic and onion, add it to the chicken broth, season to taste, and let it cook for approximately 20 more minutes.
