3 lb chicken, cut up, or chicken pieces
1 large onion, sliced
1-2 cloves garlic
1 cup tomatoes, fresh or canned
1/4 cup tomato paste (50 ml)
1/2 cup peanuts, ground in blender, or chunky peanut butter
1 cup water
1 bay leaf
2 Tbsp celery or celery leaves, chopped
1 tsp salt
Peanuts (optional, for garnish)
1. Heat oil in saucepan. Fry chicken. Add additional oil if needed to keep chicken from sticking. Set chicken aside.
2. Saute onion and garlic in remaining oil. Add tomatoes, tomato paste, and peanuts.
3. Add water gradually and stir to make a smooth sauce. Add bay leaf, celery, and salt. Cook a few minutes, stirring constantly. Return chicken to sauce. Stir to coat pieces well. Cover and cook over medium heat about 15 minutes. If too thick, add a little water. Serve over rice and garnish with peanuts.

This was good! At first I thought it would be too bland, but it had a good flavor. I do think it could use a little spice, so next time I might add a little red pepper flakes or something to give it a little kick. One word of warning: this is very filling! The peanut butter makes the sauce thick and filling - not overly rich, but it's easy to eat too much.
