FRANGO MOHLO - Chicken in sauce

This is another Brazilian dish that Althea used to make a lot when she was here. I was talking to her on the phone last night, and I was all excited to tell her that I posted some of her Brazilian recipes. You have to know her to understand the humor in this, but she said, I'm going to get on there and critique everything you posted, pointing out all your mistakes! LOL I told her about this Mohlo and she informed me it was a "made up" recipe. The Mohlo recipe simply means "sauce." Not sure whose idea it was to add the chicken to it, but I sure like it! Also, when I first posted it as "Pollo" that was incorrect. Pollo is Spanish. The Brazilian word for chicken is "Frango." If you ever travel to Brazil and holler out "OH LOOK! There's a chicken on the side of the road!!" You might get slapped. Chicken in Portugese means prostitute! *hehe* I don't know why I didn't remember that, because that actually happened to me. Well, not the slapping part! LOL But the yelling out about the "chicken!" I also tried to order "chicken" in a Brazilian restaurant and Althea corrected me in front of the waiter and said "Frango" and had a good giggle with the waiter. Then they exchanged some Portugese. I'm just sure they were agreeing what a ding bat I was! LOL Anyway, this one is my personal favorite. I just love the flavors of the dish. I always try to make extra so we have leftovers! LOL Because it's just as good the 2nd time around!
