Mmmmm, Dinner

African Peanut Stew with Chicken and Potatoes

I got this recipe from The Soul of a New Cuisine by Marcus Samuelsson. It is the most beautiful cookbook I've ever seen. It is beautifully written with lots of information about Africa, its food, and its people.

The stew was good. The recipe called for one teaspoon of salt, but it needed at least two tablespoons. It also called for half white meat, but I only did one quarter white meat and next time, if I make it again, it will be all dark meat.

The cookbook has lots of interesting recipes. I'm looking forward to trying the Ethiopian recipes most. It has too many high end recipes, I think, but it is a great table book none-the-less.
