African Peanut Stew

I used to get "the recipe of the day" from allrecipes.com.  I still have a backlog of recipes I have yet to try.  This particular recipe for African Chicken Stew has been a favorite of my husband's since I first made it several years ago.

I did make some slight modifications.  First, I use chicken breast instead of a whole chicken.  I use a cup of chicken broth instead of water.  And, I don’t use canned garbanzo beans.

After searching the web some, I’ve found that there are several different ways of making this recipe.

This recipe for African Chicken Peanut Stew adds tomatoes and cilantro.

This Vegetarian African Peanut Stew uses sweet potatoes and spinach.

And if Spicy African Peanut Stew is your thing, add some garam masala.

Emeril Lagasse has his own version called African Peanut Soup that uses ground turkey.

Tastes from Africa

On Monday, our campus had the pleasure of being able to try some wonderful tastes from Africa.

Each of the samplings of the foods were presented with a recipe card.  I’m will try my hand at each these dishes as I found each of them to be delicious.  While I enjoyed each of the samplings, my favorite was the Doro Wat (a chicken stew) from Ethiopia.
