Ohjeet

Wash the chicken first and pat dry with a paper towel. Heat 4 tbps of peanut oil or palm oil in a large pot over high heat.

Sear the chicken for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, in batches if needed, until golden brown in colour. Once done, remove the chicken and set them aside.

Turn down the heat to medium-low, then add the remaining oil. Saute first the onions until golden brown, then add garlic until fragrant.

Add the tomato paste while constantly stirring for 3 minutes. Let the paste darken slightly then add tomato puree, ginger root, green onions, red pepper flakes, nutmeg, water and salt into the pot.

Mix all the ingredients well until nicely incorporated. Then add the chicken into the pot and mix again.

Turn the heat high and bring it to a boil. Once it boils, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, pull out 1 or 2 cups of the sauce and add the peanut butter. Mix it thoroughly and return the sauce back to the pot, mixing it well.

Simmer the moambe again for 10 minutes, uncovered. Serve it hot on top of rice.
