Chambre (Legumes and Meat Stew) combines rice, legumes, meat, vegetables, and tubers in a dish that is a complete meal in itself, and it's very comforting.

Why we ❤️ it

It's fair to say that I have learned as much from my readers' comments and emails throughout these years as I may have taught them. And I have discovered a treasure trove of new dishes in our cuisine that I did not know existed prior to my starting to write about Dominican cooking.

A million thanks for that.

About this recipe

This hearty stew, seemingly created to get rid of all of a week's leftovers, or to get the home cook a respite by combining almost all of the Dominican traditional lunch in one single pot, was unknown to me until my readers brought it to my attention.

Luckily, I quickly got hold of a few friends that were well-acquainted with Chambre and shared their recipes with me. I have been told it's also known as "Chapea" in other parts of the country.

As it almost always happens, everyone had a different recipe, born out their own family traditions. As I usually do, I settled for the one I liked best. This is it.

I hope you love it as much as I did.

    When the liquid breaks the boil, add the rice, stir.

    Simmer covered over medium heat until the rice is tender and the grains have doubled in size. Stir frequently to prevent the ingredients from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
