Spicy Peanut Soup With Chicken Recipes

WEST AFRICAN PEANUT SOUP WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Chop peanuts, or crush them with the side of a knife, or pulse them in a food processor to chop roughly.
• 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.
• Stir in the stock and the sweet potatoes, bring to a boil, and turn heat down to medium-low so the soup bubbles gently. Stir in tomatoes and collards, then cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• Stir in 1/4 cup peanut butter. Taste, adjust seasoning (you may want to add more peanut butter at this point) and serve, garnished with remaining peanuts.

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.
