I shared this at my Westside Book Club.  I searched for a recipe from the Congo, which was the setting for our book selection that month, “The Poisonwood Bible,” by Barbara Kingsolver. 

3 lbs. cooked chicken, (your choice – thighs, breasts, etc.), shredded

1 tablespoon butter

1 onion, diced

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

2 cups chicken broth

1 cup tomato sauce

1 cup creamy peanut butter

Sauté the onion in butter until translucent. Add nutmeg and cayenne pepper; simmer about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce and peanut butter until incorporated and then pour in chicken broth.  Add chicken pieces and simmer another 5 minutes. Serve over white rice.

WHITE RICE

1 Tablespoon oil
1 cup white rice
2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt

In saucepan, sauté rice in oil for about 5 minutes, sprinkle with salt and add water. Cover and cook under medium low heat for 20 minutes.
