(Filipino chicken and vegetables in tomato sauce)

Afridata — also known as apritada or apritadang — is an easy-to-make, homestyle dish that shows the strong influence of the Philippines' Spanish colonial history. Savory chicken and the bright flavors of fresh vegetables are bathed in a garlicky tomato sauce and served over hot rice.

4 to 6 servings

Ingredients
Oil -- 3 tablespoons
Chicken, cut into pieces -- 2 1/2 pounds
Onion, chopped -- 1
Bell peppers, chopped -- 2
Garlic, minced -- 2 to 3 cloves
Tomato sauce -- 1 cup
Chicken stock -- 2 cups
Fish sauce (patis) or soy sauce -- 2 tablespoons
Boiling potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks -- 1 pound
Salt and pepper -- to taste
Method
Heat the oil over medium-high flame in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add the chicken, a few pieces at a time and brown on all sides. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
Add the onion and bell peppers and saute, stirring often, until cooked through but still crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and saute for another 1 or 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato sauce and cook to reduce its volume a little, 2 to 3 minutes.
Stir in the remaining ingredients along with the reserved chicken. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken and potatoes are both cooked through.
Adjust seasoning and serve over steamed white rice.
