• Put oil in a deep skillet or medium saucepan over medium heat; a minute later, add onion, ginger and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chicken and continue cooking for another 3 or 4 minutes, until just coloring. Add 1/2 cup peanuts and the cayenne and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

GHANAIAN CHICKEN AND PEANUT STEW (GROUNDNUT SOUP) RECIPE

Steps:

• In a blender, purée 2 onion halves, 1/2 cup (120ml) chicken stock, 3 garlic cloves, 1/2 ounce ginger, and tomato paste.

• Transfer chunks of onion, ginger, garlic cloves, and hot pepper to blender. Add peanut butter, canned tomatoes and their juices, and remaining 1 1/2 cups (360ml) chicken stock and purée until smooth. Pass blended mix through a fine-mesh strainer into the Dutch oven, stirring to incorporate.
• Increase heat to medium and bring to a simmer, then lower heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is tender, oils have surfaced, and mixture has thickened and reduced by about one-third, about 40 minutes. Add smoked fish, reduce heat to low, cover pot, and cook an additional 5 minutes. (If omitting the smoked fish, you can skip this 5-minute covered-cooking step.) Remove and discard smoked fish and bay leaves, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot over white rice or fufu.

Steps:

• For the chicken: Combine the tomato paste, thyme, cumin, cloves, garlic, ginger, jalapeno, onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender. Blend to make an almost smooth paste. Add the chicken broth and blend until very smooth.
• Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the coconut oil or ghee. Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the chicken to the pot and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the onion puree and bay leaves. Bring to a gentle simmer over low heat and cover the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• For the sauce: Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the tomatoes, garlic, onion, ginger and jalapeno. Pour in 1 cup of the stock or water. Bring to a simmer over low heat. Cover and cook until the tomatoes and onions are very tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Transfer the sauce to the blender (no need to wash the blender) and, being careful when blending hot ingredients, puree until smooth. Set a strainer over the chicken pot and strain the sauce right into the pot. Stir and return to a simmer just to combine the flavors, about 5 minutes.
• Put the peanut butter and remaining 1/2 cup stock in the blender (no need to wash the blender) and blend until smooth. Whisk into the simmering soup. Simmer just to combine the flavors, 2 to 3 minutes, adding a little more chicken stock if needed. (The soup should be slightly thick, like melted ice cream.) Stir in the lime juice and season with salt, if needed.
