African Groundnut Stew Domoda

Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken and brown on all sides, 8–10 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside.

Add the onion and garlic to the pot and cook for 4–6 minutes, until softened and the onion is translucent and the garlic is beginning to brown.

Stir in the peanut butter until melted, about 1 minute.

Add the salt, paprika, adobo seasoning, black pepper, cayenne pepper, remaining ¼ cup vegetable oil and tomato sauce. Mix well to combine with the peanut butter.

Add the water, pumpkin, potato, carrot, the browned chicken, and the habanero and stir to combine. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to medium, and cook for 10 minutes. Stir, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 35 minutes more, until the vegetables are tender and the stew is thickened.

Remove the pot from the heat and remove the habanero pepper.

Serve the stew hot over jasmine rice.

Enjoy!
