CURRIED PEANUT CHICKEN

     CHICKEN-PEANUT - Chicken in a spicy peanut sauce

     I got this recipe from my cousin who lives in Amsterdam.
     She got it from a book of Jewish recipes from Curacao.

INGREDIENTS (Serves 4)
     2         Small frying chickens, cut into serving-size
               pieces
     1/4 cup   oil
     2 tsp     salt, or less, to taste
     3 tsp     curry powder, or more, to taste
     1         large onion, sliced
     1         large green pepper, cut into strips
     1 large   tomato, skinned and sliced
     1/4 cup   crunchy peanut butter
     1/4 cup   water

PROCEDURE
          (1)  Brown the chicken pieces in the oil.  Stir the
               salt and curry powder into the drippings and cook,
               stirring, for one minute.

          (2)  Add onion, pepper, and tomato.  Cover and simmer
               five minutes.  Add chicken pieces, cover and sim-
               mer 30 minutes or until tender.

          (3)  Remove chicken pieces to a dish, or over rice.
               Blend peanut butter with water and stir into
               gravy.  Heat to boiling while stirring constantly.
               Serve.

RATING
     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 45 minutes.  Precision: no need to
     measure.
