Ingredients

1 Cup, halves and whole Peanuts
1 Tbsp Coriander Seed
1 Cup, chopped Onions
12 Cup slices (1" dia) Ginger Root
8 1 Tsp Vegetable Oil
4 Cup Chicken Broth
1 Can (15 oz) Tomatoes
3 Cup, cubes Sweet Potato
1 Dash Pepper
1 Cup Peanut Butter
6 Cloves, minced Garlic
1 Sprigs Fresh Cilantro
1 Dash Salt
1 Tsp Cayenne Pepper
8 Leg, bone and skin removed Chicken Leg

Directions

Slice white onion coarsely.

Peel and mince ginger.

Roughly chop garlic cloves.

Peel and cut sweet potatoes into chunks.

Chop cilantro coarsely.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large soup pot set over medium-high heat.

Salt the chicken pieces well, pat them dry and brown them in the oil.

Don't crowd the pot, so do this in batches.

Set the chicken pieces aside as they brown.

Saute the onions in the oil for 3-4 minutes, stirring often and scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pot.

Add the ginger and garlic and saute another 1-2 minutes, then add the sweet potatoes and stir well to combine.

Add the chicken, chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, peanut butter, peanuts, coriander and cayenne and stir well to combine.

Bring to a simmer and taste for salt, adding more if needed.

Cover the pot and simmer gently for 90 minutes (check after an hour), or until the chicken meat easily falls off the bone and the sweet potatoes are tender.

Remove the chicken pieces and set them in a bowl to cool, until cool enough to touch.

Remove and discard the skin if you want, or chop it and put it back into the pot.

Shred the meat off the bones and put the meat back in the pot.

Adjust the seasonings for salt and cayenne, then add as much black pepper as you think you can standthe stew should be peppery.

Stir in the cilantro and serve by itself, or with simple steamed rice.
