Poulet au Gnemboue (Chicken with Nuts)

Ingredients

• •3 pounds chicken, skinned and cut into portions
• •1 cup macadamia or hazelnuts, roasted lightly
• •2 cups stock
• •1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• •1 clove garlic, crushed
• •3 spring onions, thinly sliced
• •Salt and pepper

Directions

1. 1Start by putting the roasted nuts into the blender with a little of the stock. Mix well, making sure the nuts are crushed into a paste and then adding more stock as required to make a sauce.
2. 2Pour the sauce into a large pan and put over gently heat. Now add chili powder, garlic, spring onion, salt and pepper, mixing with a spoon.
3. 3Next put in the chicken pieces and turn them around to coat them all over with the nut sauce. Cover the pot and cook over a very low heat for 1 hour or until the meat is cooked. Check often and stir to prevent sticking, adding more stock or water if necessary.
