Nkatenkwan – Cozy Ghanaian Peanut Stew | New Pioneer

Ingredients

• 2 T. olive or canola oil
• 2 T. grated fresh ginger (I use a microplane to grate it, but you can use the pre-grated ginger in a jar)
• 1/2 yellow onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, grated
• about 1 lb. chicken breast, chopped (or protein of your choice)
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes or about 2 T. tomato paste
• hot peppers – habaneros or whatever you like (I use 2 habaneros but I like a lot of heat. Use 1 or 2 serranos if you like less heat)
• 2 14.5-oz. cans chicken broth or (as I do) Better than Bullion Chicken base with water (so much cheaper & great flavor!), divided
• 1/3 c. smooth salted peanut butter (or unsalted, plus salt to taste)
• salt to taste
• peas optional: sometimes I add to boost the veggie content
• serve over cooked rice
• cilantro to garnish
