👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
2
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3
Stir in the diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to break down.
4
Add the chicken pieces to the pot and sear on all sides until lightly browned.
5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, chicken broth, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne pepper, and salt until smooth. Pour this mixture into the pot with the chicken and vegetables.
6
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
7
Adjust seasoning with salt if needed. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
