Peanut Chicken Stew
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound chicken, cut into chunks
  • 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper, or to taste
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 5 cups chicken stock
  • 3 small sweet potatoes, cut into chunks
  • 1 (16 ounce) can chopped tomatoes, with liquid
  • 1 cup chunky peanut butter
  • 1/4 pound collard greens, roughly chopped
Instructions
1
Melt peanut oil in a large cooking vessel over an elevated heat setting. Sauté the onion, ginger, and garlic in hot oil until the onion becomes tender and softens, approximately 5 minutes pass. Introduce chicken to the mixture; cook and stir until it is thoroughly browned on all sides. Season with crushed red pepper, salt, and black pepper to enhance flavor. Pour in chicken stock to add moisture; stir in sweet potatoes to incorporate them into the dish. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then decrease heat to a low setting and cover partially with a lid. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 15 minutes.

Add tomatoes, peanut butter, and collard greens to the pot; partially cover it again to prevent excessive evaporation. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the collard greens become tender and palatable, approximately 20 additional minutes pass.
