NORTH AFRICAN CHICKEN AND SPINACH STEW
This dish is my mother's interpretation of a meal we had at a friend's birthday party when we were young. We came home raving about it and had to try making it for ourselves!

Steps:
- PLACE the chicken in a large pot and cover it with water. Add the celery, carrot, onion, and bay leaves and season with 1 tablespoon salt. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 45 minutes.
- REMOVE the chicken to a deep dish or bowl and let it drain. Strain the stock into a large bowl or pan and set aside. Transfer the vegetables from the strainer to a blender (remove the bay leaves), add the garlic, and puree until completely smooth. Set aside.
- TO make the spinach stew, in a large saucepan over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter. When it's bubbling slightly, add the vegetable puree. Warm it through, about 2 minutes. Season with 1 teaspoon salt, the pepper, and the cinnamon stick, then add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups of the reserved stock and bring to a simmer. Cook to let the flavors develop, about 15 minutes. Reduce the heat and keep warm (remove the cinnamon stick before serving).
- MEANWHILE, when the chicken is cool enough to handle, pat it completely dry and break it down into 8 pieces: 2 thighs, 2 wings, and 2 breasts, then split the breasts in half. Place the chicken pieces in a large dish. Combine the granulated onion, granulated garlic, paprika, cayenne, oregano, and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Completely coat the chicken in this dry rub.
- MELT the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add the chicken pieces and sear until charred in spots, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side, 4 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- SERVE the chicken with rice and a generous ladle of spinach stew. Squeeze lemon over the plate if desired.

Steps:
- Pour the hot stock over the peanut butter and stir until dissolved. Heat a very large pan and fry the onions in the oil for 5 mins to soften. Add the ginger, cayenne, if using, ½ tsp black pepper, coriander, cumin, chillies and bay and cook, stirring, for 2 mins.
- Tip in the tomatoes and the peanut stock, then stir in the chicken pieces. Put a lid on the pan and leave to simmer for 30 mins, stirring frequently to make sure the peanut butter doesn't stick to the base of the pan.
- Stir in the sweet potatoes, peppers and chopped coriander, then cook for 30 mins more. Serve sprinkled with the reserved coriander, with rice and lime wedges for squeezing over, if you like.

AFRICAN CHICKEN STEW
This delicious stew is inspired by my friend from Sierra Leone, West Africa, who cooks often for her family. Many ingredients can be modified. This is kind of a 'whatever is handy now' recipe. You can use a whole roasting chicken cut into bite-sized pieces, or just breasts and thighs if you prefer. Other suggested additions are turnips, carrots and celery. This looks great served over white rice with a garnish of fresh chopped cilantro, parsley or unsalted peanuts.

SPICY, HOT AFRICAN CHICKEN WITH SPINACH
For years I had been trying to replicate a dish that was prepared for me by an African family. Finally, during a random sales call, an African telemarketer was gracious enough to help me piece together the missing ingredients. This is a hot, spicy, thick stew that is completely addictive. It contains chicken, peanut butter, and spinach. There are some other variations of the African stew out there, but none compare to this. The secret to the stew is both peanut butter and spinach together. That is how the sauce gets its deep color. The peanut butter oil and spice combine to make sauce unbelievably thick and savory.

Steps:
- Rinse off chicken and cut off extra fat. Sprinkle with salt. Set aside.
- Peel garlic cloves (4-6).
- Wash and dry spinach.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large pot. Keep heat low so oil does not smoke.
- Add garlic to oil in pan and heat until brown, remove with spoon and set aside (be careful)
- Add chicken to pan and turn heat to medium.
- Put a good sear on the chicken until it is browned.
- Add half water to pan and deglaze. This will get the chicken flavor off the bottom of the pan.
- Add bouillon and pepper to water and bring to a boil. You now have your chicken simmering in a broth.
- Reduce pan liquid by half. Cook until chicken is falling off the bone.
- Add peanut butter, browned garlic, and paprika.
- Add spinach and stir until all ingredient have integrated (10 minutes at least).
- Watch it close so it doesn't burn.
- The stew should be thick when you remove it. If its runny then let it simmer until it thickens.

AFRICAN CHICKEN STEW
From the Food Network Kitchens. This is a quick way to have exotic comfort food. There is a recipe for Tunisian Pesto listed because you will need to stir this in to complete the stew. The pesto recipe makes one cup. you only need 1/3 cup for the stew, so you can reserve the rest for later use or even freeze. Yum!

HOT AND SPICY AFRICAN CHICKEN STEW WRAPS
This is a type of Ethiopian chicken stew, very hot, spicy and tasty. Perfect for winter! Usually Ethiopian food is served with injera but it is tricky to make and rather filling, so I've substituted hot buttered chapattis, with the stew wrapped up inside. The ingredients under the title "Berbere" compose the Berbere spice mix. It makes quite a bit, but we only use 2 teaspoons for the recipe. Keep it for another recipe!
