Welcome the audience and introduce the dish: sautéed chicken thighs with eggplant and sorrel.

Mention the sorrel comes from Gabon and can be found at Picard.

Wash, clean, and dry the chicken thighs; season with salt and pepper.

Fry the chicken thighs in a bit of oil until golden brown, then remove and set aside.

In the same skillet, add diced eggplant and stir.

Add the sorrel and mix well; note that the sorrel from Picard is not as acidic as traditional African sorrel.

Add diced bell pepper and tomatoes; mix well.

Season with salt and add spices; continue mixing for one minute.

Cover and cook for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, uncover and stir again.

Add chopped onions and garlic; mix well.

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet and mix delicately.

Cover and cook for an additional 10 to 12 minutes until done.
