Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup peanut or vegetable oil
1 (3-pound) chicken, cut in eighths
1 large onion, chopped
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 teaspoon salt
1 large tomato, chopped
1/2 pound potato (1 large one)
1 small cabbage, cut in 1/2-inch pieces (or 6 Brussels sprouts)
1/2 pound carrots, peeled and cut into small chunks
1 small butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (or 6 patty pans, cut in half)
3 tablespoons Thai or Vietnamese fish sauce
1/2 cup peanut butter or "tigadege" (roasted peanut paste)
1 Scotch bonnet pepper, whole, optional
Steamed white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large pot, heat oil until hot and brown chicken pieces on all sides. Remove chicken temporarily.
  • In the same frying pan, add the onions and stir until soft and slightly brown. Add the tomato paste and salt, and stir well.
  • Add all the prepared vegetables and fish sauce to the pot. Return the chicken to the pot and add just enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, stir, and reduce heat to medium. Simmer for approximately 30 minutes. Check the vegetables to avoid overcooking, removing them in a bowl as they are done.
  • When all the vegetables are cooked and removed from the stew, add the peanut butter or "tigadege", 1 tablespoon at a time to make sure it is well dissolved in the broth. Add the Scotch bonnet pepper, if using and simmer until broth thickens, about 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Return all the vegetables to the pot and simmer 5 minutes more. Serve over white rice.

I'm not a fan of spicy food, so I omitted the chili pepper. The stew was still plenty flavorful without it.

This stew was so easy to make and it turned out so flavorful. I used a rotisserie chicken to save time and it worked perfectly.

I'm not usually a fan of peanut butter in savory dishes, but this recipe changed my mind. The peanut butter added a creamy richness to the sauce that was perfectly balanced by the acidity of the tomatoes.
