Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken thighs
• 500 grams Pork shoulder
• 4 medium Yellow potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Cooking oil
• 1 large Onion, diced
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 cup Peanut butter, creamy
• 400 milliliters Coconut milk
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken thighs and pork shoulder into bite-sized pieces. Season them with salt and ground black pepper, then set aside.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and cut them into large chunks. Parboil them in salted water for 10 minutes, then drain and set aside.

Step 3

Heat the cooking oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken and pork in batches, cooking for about 3-4 minutes per side until lightly seared. Remove from the pot and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1 more minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the peanut butter, mixing it with the softened onions and garlic until well combined.

Step 6

Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth, stirring to create a smooth sauce. Add the soy sauce, brown sugar, and chili flakes. Bring the sauce to a simmer.

Step 7

Return the browned chicken and pork to the pot, coating them well in the sauce. Cover the pot and let it simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.

Step 8

After 20 minutes, add the parboiled potato chunks to the pot. Stir gently to coat the potatoes with the sauce, then cover the pot and cook for an additional 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender, and the meat is fully cooked.

Step 9

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more salt or sugar, if needed.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving. Serve hot with steamed rice or warm bread.
