Peanut Sauce Ingredients: 1 unit chicken unit peanut butter 2 unit tomatoes 2 unit onions unit salt and pepper Instructions: Every time I have to cook something African for a non-African this is the one. All my guinea pigs loved my peanut stew. Peanut sauce must be from everywhere and nowhere since no one fights for it likewise Jollof rice. As most the recipes I might bring here, there are as much peanut sauces as there are households in Sub-Saharan Africa. Mine tastes different every time. I guess the sauce is a reflection of your mood that given day. Disclaimer: If I can cook then REALLY any one can cook. You are free to adapt this recipe Burning a pot is part of the experience or not! No exact science here Your mouth is required because well I’m not very good with quantities Now what do we need: 1 chicken or more (how much do you have in your bank account?) Peanut butter: no added sugar 2 tomatoes 2 onions Salt & pepper Peanut oil or something else Garlic Fresh chilli or powder Dried crayfish (optional, but it makes a difference) Fresh ginger or powder Water Blender Now let’s cook Well just put everything in the pot and stir it for 30 minutes and you’re done. Easy peasy. Just messing with you! It’s time to follow my orders and trust me! Cut the chicken in pieces, wash it Put them aside in a bowl with salt & pepper Wash the crayfish, mix it and put it aside (don’t you dare rinse the blender after, so much crayfish juice in there) Cut onions tomatoes and ginger in chunk pieces Mix all of it together (in the same blender yes!) then put aside Heat up oil in a pan (a big one) When it’s hot, glaze the chicken pieces then put aside When all chicken pieces are done, put in the pot the crayfish with lower heat When it starts boiling, add on the onion/tomato/ginger mix Add salt & pepper; stir with wooden spatula Add the chicken pieces and water; stir again Cover the pot and let cook for 20minutes Take a glass of wine/beer anything you like Have a break but not too long Now back to the kitchen In a bowl mix 2 to 3 soupspoons of peanut butter with water until it’s completed diluted Add the mixture and chilli to the pot; stir again Cover the pot and let cook for another 10min Take another break but… Stir now and then because peanut tends to stick to the pot All along tastes the sauce to season it as needed Chicken well cooked ??? Leave it another 10 minutes, low heat Taste it again. Tastes good?? It’s ready You can eat it with boiled rice, boiled plantain. Need another recipe to cook those? Enjoy your meal!
