Awesome recipe, takes a while to make but well worth it. I’ll make a double batch next time and keep in the fridge. I normally use 2 Tbsp for greater heat or add a fresh red chilli ?? while cooking, great with Goat, beef, lamb or chicken.

This is delicious, and a change from the usual stew flavors that I'm used to. Add 1 Tbsp to 1 1/2 lbs of meat. I like to cut up the meat (pork usually), toss in some flour, and then brown in oil in a large pot. Add a cut up onion, saute for a couple minutes, then add 1 quart of chicken broth, a couple Tablespoons of this paste, and let it simmer on the stove for 20 minutes, then add 3 cut potatoes, and cook for an additonal 15 minutes. Add 3 Tbsp corn starch in 3 Tbsp cold water, then add this slurry to the pot and stir until thickened. Serve with some cilantro or parsley, and a dollop of greek yogurt or sour cream.
