Title: Ghanaian Groundnut Soup
Yield: 10 Servings

Ingredients

      1 c  peanut butter
      6 oz tomato paste (can)
      1    salt
      8    chicken breasts [cut up]
      1 lg onion [cut up]
      3 qt water
 
  ------------------------------IF NECESSARY--------------------------------
      1 tb cornstarch (or more)

Instructions

This is a copy of an old Ghanian [from Ghana] recipe a friend gave my
mother about 30 years ago. Kinda interesting. It's authentic, but I
think the real thing needs some serious hot sauce added.

Combine ingredients in large pot or pressure cooker. Cook until meat
is tender. If using pressure cooker, I cook it at 15 pounds pressure
for 1/2 hour. Scrape oil from top. Add corn starch if the gravy is
too thin. Serve over rice.

Beef or pork maybe substituted for the chicken, and if your family
enjoys fish, a quick way is to cook the ingredients (except meat)
until the onion is tender and add a large can of tuna or other fish.

For variety, you might like to substitute rat, lizard, or lion meat!!

Ruth, I do not think you got the right recipe. I do not think meat in this Ghanaian Groundnut Soup is substituted with rat, lizard, or lion meat!! I will have to put together the real Ghanaian Groundnut Soup recipe for you.
