Mmmmmm....asopao! A traditional Dominican dish reserved for special occassions like graduations, weddings, birthdays, goodbyes and stove inaugurations (as the case would be!).

| Doña Margot stirring it! |
As mentioned previously, we just finished our first improved cookstove in Copey. And to make sure the doñas knew how to use them, I decided to throw a good ol' fashioned asopao fest! Below is the process explained in pictures!

| The beautiful finished product ready to be lit! |
 |
| Margot putting too much firewood in the hole and smoking up the kitchen area. |
 |
| Jefa Bea fixing the mistake. |
 |
| Catching flame! |
 |
| And the asopao adventure begins, starting with adding oil, caramelizing onions and cooking the chicken. |
 |
| Adding the sauce, celery, rice, pumpkin, carrots and love! |
 |
| Yesenia adding seasoning and giving our stew more oopmh! |
 |
The final and most important ingredient - a fresh avocado!
|
¡Buen provecho!
Bea
