directions

  • Place a large saucepan/casserole pot over a medium heat. Fry the chicken pieces, skin side down, for 10 minutes or until browned. Using tongs, turn the pieces of chicken over to seal the underside.
  • Stir in two of the onions, ginger and garlic for five minutes or until translucent and softened.
  • Pour in the chicken stock and season with salt. Bring to the boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • In a separate small saucepan, mix together the peanut butter with the water. Gently bring the mixture to the boil, stirring occasionally to.
  • prevent burning and a lumpy mixture. Gently simmer for 5–10 minutes or until the oil from the peanut butter settles on the surface.
  • In a food processor, blend together the remaining two onions with the tinned tomatoes and red pepper. Add this mixture to the chicken and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Finally, add the peanut butter mixture to the chicken pan and simmer for a further 30 minutes.
  • Optional - pour soup into a bowl and place rice ball in the middle.
