Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place the chicken in a large stock pot and cover with 2 quarts of water. Add the salt, pepper, onions and carrots. Simmer over medium heat for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken, onion and carrot and reserve for other purposes.

  2. Step 2

    Add the tomato paste, peanut butter (blended with a bit of the stock before you return it to the pot), cayenne and red pepper to the pot. Heat gently over low heat for 10 minutes, or until the oil rises to the top of the stock. Skim off the oil and cool to room temperature. Stir in the white wine. Chill thoroughly before serving.
