- 1
If using beef, boil it until tender. Drain and set aside the broth. If using chicken, you can brown it first or add it directly to the sauce later.

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- 3
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Stir in the chopped or pureed tomatoes and cook for about 10 minutes, allowing them to break down and form a base.
- 5
Add the peanut butter to the pot and stir well to combine with the tomato mixture. Gradually whisk in the water or reserved broth until the sauce is smooth and has your desired consistency.
- 6
Add the cooked beef or chicken pieces to the sauce. If using raw chicken, add it now and ensure it cooks through.
- 7
Add the finely chopped Scotch bonnet pepper, if using. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well.
- 8
Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.

Serve hot with fufu, boiled plantains, rice, or any other preferred accompaniment.
