👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Heat peanut oil in a 6-quart Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Cook chicken in batches until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes per batch. Remove chicken and set aside.
2
Add the chopped yellow onion to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the minced garlic and chopped habanero chile and cook for 2 minutes more until fragrant.
3
Stir in the tomato paste and cook until slightly caramelized, about 2 minutes. Add the bay leaf and stir.
4
Pour in the chicken stock, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a simmer.
5
In a separate bowl, whisk the peanut butter with about 1 cup of the warm chicken stock until smooth. Add this peanut butter mixture to the pot, stirring until the sauce is smooth.
6
Return the browned chicken to the pot. Add the carrots, okra, sweet potatoes, and cabbage wedges. Bring the stew to a boil.
7
Reduce heat to medium-low, partially cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken and vegetables are tender, about 25-30 minutes.
8
Stir in the lime juice. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Remove the bay leaf.
9
Serve the stew hot over cooked fonio or white rice.
