1 small cabbage, cut into chunks
3 carrots, cut into chunks
4 cloves garlic, minced
5 medium onions, sliced
120ml groundnut oil
1 chicken, cut into serving pieces
1 sprig thyme
1 habanero chilli, finely chopped

Method:
Make a marinade from the lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, onion and the spices. Place the chicken in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Leave in the refrigerator over night. The following day remove the chicken from the marinade and fry for a few minutes on each side, until golden brown.
Add the marinated onions and the garlic to the chicken pieces and fry for about 3 minutes, before adding the remaining marinade along with the cabbage, carrots and chilli. Cover the pan and simmer for some 35 minutes.
