Method

  • step 1

    Pour the hot stock over the peanut butter and stir until dissolved. Heat a very large pan and fry the onions in the oil for 5 mins to soften. Add the ginger, cayenne, if using, ½ tsp black pepper, coriander, cumin, chillies and bay and cook, stirring, for 2 mins.

  • step 2

    Tip in the tomatoes and the peanut stock, then stir in the chicken pieces. Put a lid on the pan and leave to simmer for 30 mins, stirring frequently to make sure the peanut butter doesn’t stick to the base of the pan.

  • step 3

    Stir in the sweet potatoes, peppers and chopped coriander, then cook for 30 mins more. Serve sprinkled with the reserved coriander, with rice and lime wedges for squeezing over, if you like.

RECIPE TIPS
FREEZING IN BATCHES

Once cooled, you can freeze this stew for

up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge, or

reheat gently from frozen in a large pan

with a little water to stop it sticking as it

melts. Cover the pan until thawed, then

remove the lid and heat until bubbling to

drive off the excess moisture.

great recipe! it is really delicious, it goes really well with fufu, I've found. However, as it says in the recipe you really have to stir it a lot, as both times Ive made this it has burnt at the bottom of the pan! very tasty though:)

Made this last night and it was a great success. My only tip is that most of the ingredients are creamy coloured so the peppers and chillies are very much needed to boost colour , next time I may add more colour . Going to be a favourite and a very simple vegan/ vegetarian meal if chicken left out…

Really lovely recipe! A whole jar of peanut butter is a bit much for me so i do 3 tablespoons instead. And only 2 sweet potatoes are needed in my opinion. I also add 3-4 smoked garlic cloves. But overal really recommend this recipe - we are having it tonight for the 2nd time in 2 weeks.
