👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper and brown them on all sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
2
Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté until softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3
Stir in the chopped tomatoes, green bell pepper, curry powder, and turmeric. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have softened.
4
Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Stir in the peanut butter until it's well combined and the sauce is smooth. Return the browned chicken to the pot.
5
Bring the stew back to a gentle simmer. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 45-60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
6
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. If the stew is too thick, add a little more chicken stock or water.
7
Serve hot, typically with rice, ugali, or matoke.

💡 전문가 팁

✓For a smoother sauce, you can blend the tomatoes, onions, garlic, and ginger before adding them to the pot.
✓If you prefer a spicier stew, add a finely chopped chili pepper along with the tomatoes.
✓Roasting the peanuts before grinding them into a paste can add an extra layer of flavor, though using peanut butter is a convenient shortcut.
