👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Brown the chicken pieces on all sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
2
Add chopped onion to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3
Stir in the chopped tomatoes (and chili pepper, if using). Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes start to break down.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk the peanut butter with a little warm water or chicken broth until smooth. This prevents lumps.
5
Return the chicken to the pot. Pour in the chicken broth or water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, or until chicken is tender.
6
Stir in the smooth peanut butter mixture. Continue to simmer gently, uncovered, for another 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
7
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot with nshima or rice.
