- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large, heavy pot over a medium-high heat. Sprinkle in a teaspoon of sugar and, when it bubbles and darkens, add the chicken. Brown well for 6 to 8 minutes, turning, until dark golden.
- Slice the onion, the peppers and the carrot. Add them with the tomato purée and 400 ml of water. Cover and simmer for 35 minutes, until the chicken is tender and the gravy is rich.200 g brown onions150 g carrots30 g tomato purée

Let the sugar caramelise to a deep brown in the oil before adding the chicken. That is the "brown" in brown stew.
