West African Groundnut Peanut Stew Recipe

	Nflatte / All my dishes 5 months, 2 weeks ago This dish has won raves for people I've cooked it for. The flavors are exotic. Like many stews, it's best the next day (but still tastes terrific the day it's made!) A novel way of cooking inexpensive chicken parts. Prep:35m Cook:70m Servings:6	Nflatte

Ingredients

1-1/2 to 2 lbs. skinned chicken parts (I use thighs or leg quarters split into thighs and drumsticks; you can use skinless thighs as well, but not breasts)

1 large or 2 medium onions, chopped

1-2 cloves garlic, minced

Dried red peppers (crushed) or cayenne pepper (to taste)

1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

1 can (14-oz) stewed tomatoes (plain) or diced tomatoes

1 teaspoon salt

2 cups water

1 plantain, chopped (I like riper plantains in this)

1 sweet potato, chopped

¾ to 1 cup natural peanut butter

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooked rice

Directions

In 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat, brown chicken or beef (need not be completely cooked through).

Remove when done.

In same pot, add 1 tablespoon oil and onions over medium heat. Cook until soft.

Add garlic and cook for another minute or two, being careful not to let garlic burn.

Add tomatoes, ginger, pepper, and salt.

Sauté for a couple of minutes.

Add water and reserved chicken.

Turn heat up to high and add plantain and sweet potato.

Bring to a boil, then turn heat down and simmer (covered) for 30-40 minutes, until meat is tender.

Remove about ¼ to ½ cup of stew liquid and mix it with peanut butter in a bowl.

Stir peanut butter mixture back into stew.

Cover and simmer for another 30 minutes, stirring frequently.

If needed, add more water to thin stew.

Season to taste with more salt and red and/or black pepper.

Serve over rice.
