This is a Congolese version of the ubiquitous Chicken and tomatoes peanut soup common to almost all of Sub-Saharan Africa.
Ingredients:
1 chicken, cut into serving-sized pieces.
1 large onion, chopped
1 small tin, tomato paste
120ml peanut butter
2 scotch bonnet chillies, pounded to a paste
palm oil
Method:
Add about 1l of water to a large pot and bring to a boil. Add the chicken and continue boiling until the meat has cooked.
Meanwhile, gently fry the onion in about 4 tbsp palm oil, cooking until the onion is tender.
When the chicken is done, remove from the broth (keep this on a low simmer), allow to cool a little and remove the meat from the bones. Take 200ml of the chicken broth and combine with the peanut butter and tomato, stirring to a smooth paste.
Return the chicken meat to the broth then add the peanut butter paste. Stir and continue to simmer until the soup has thickened.
