👨🍳 Ohjeet
- 1
If using meat, boil it with some chopped onion, salt, and seasoning cube until tender. If using chicken, you can brown it first or add it later. Set aside the cooked meat and its broth.
- 2
In a blender, combine the tomatoes, 1 onion, garlic, ginger, and scotch bonnet peppers. Blend into a smooth paste.
- 3
In a large pot, heat the palm oil or vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent.
- 4
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for about 2-3 minutes until it darkens slightly.
- 5
Add the blended tomato-onion mixture to the pot. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the oil starts to separate.
- 6
In a separate bowl, whisk the peanut butter with a little warm water or broth until it forms a smooth, pourable paste. This helps prevent lumps.
- 7
Add the peanut butter paste to the pot with the tomato sauce. Stir well to combine. Pour in the reserved meat broth and additional chicken or vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer.
- 8
Add the cooked meat (if using) or chicken pieces to the soup. Season with salt to taste. If using seasoning cubes, add them now.
- 9
Cover the pot and let the soup simmer on low heat for at least 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld and the peanut butter to fully integrate. The soup should thicken.
- 10
Adjust seasoning if needed. If the soup is too thick, add a little more broth or water. Serve hot with fufu, rice, or boiled yams.
