👨🍳 تعليمات
- 1
Season the chicken pieces with salt and black pepper. Heat palm oil or vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken on all sides until golden. Remove chicken and set aside.
- 2
In the same pot, add the chopped onions and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, allowing them to break down slightly.
- 4
In a separate bowl, whisk the peanut butter with about 1 cup of the chicken broth until smooth. This prevents the peanut butter from clumping.
- 5
Add the smooth peanut butter mixture to the pot, along with the remaining chicken broth, crumbled bouillon cube, and the whole scotch bonnet pepper. Stir well to combine.
- 6
Return the browned chicken pieces to the pot. Bring the stew to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- 7
If using okra, add it during the last 10-15 minutes of cooking.
- 8
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Remove the scotch bonnet pepper before serving.
- 9
Serve hot, typically with Liberian rice or fufu.
