Gently fry the onions and garlic in a tbsp of olive oil for about 10 minutes until soft and translucent.
Add the paste and mix well with the onion. I used this paste from M&S which I happened to have in the fridge. You could use tomato purée instead and I’ve taken a photo of the ingredients if you want to recreate it.
Then stir in the chicken stock and stir well. Start to bring the temperature up and while the stock is heating up, mix your corn flour with a little water to make a slurry. Pour the slurry into your stew as you bring it to a gentle boil. Allow the stew to thicken and add more corn flour if it’s too thin and more stock or water if too thick.
Add your shredded chicken and heat through well for ten minutes before serving.
