Nketia Fla Recipes

NKETIA FLA

Steps:

• Put the oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. When it shimmers, put the chicken in the skillet, skin side down. Season with salt and pepper and brown well, rotating and turning them as necessary, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer the meat to a plate and drain all but 2 tablespoons of the fat.
• Add the onion and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in the cayenne and tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes have softened, about 5 minutes.
• Return the chicken pieces to the casserole and add 3 1/2 cups chicken stock. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Whisk or blend together the remaining chicken stock and the peanut butter; stir the mixture into the stew. Cook for another 20 minutes or so, then taste, adjust the seasoning, and serve.
