👨🍳 Οδηγίες
- 1
Season the chicken chunks with salt, black pepper, curry powder, and paprika. Set aside.
- 2
Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken pieces in batches until golden brown on all sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
- 3
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pot. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Add the puréed tomatoes and chopped red bell pepper. If using, add the chopped scotch bonnet pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have broken down.

Pour in the chicken broth or water. Bring to a simmer. Whisk in the peanut butter until smooth and well combined. Return the browned chicken to the pot.

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. If the stew is too thick, add a little more broth or water. Garnish with fresh chopped coriander before serving.
