There was no doubt this was going to be an easy and quick meal. Epicurious Kids were getting the hang of preparing chicken in so many ways African style that it was becoming instinctive. Inigo took charge of the bird while Tristan prepared the coconut milk, vegetables and peanut butter.

Browning the bird

The bird was quartered and browned on the pan. Tomatoes were mixed in with the caramelised onions and then Inigo put the browned chicken back on the fire. “It says we need to add peanut butter?” Tristan raised an eyebrow.Another dish made tastier with peanut butter. “Who knew we could put peanut butter and mix it in with tomato sauce?” proclaimed Tristan.
