  • 1.5 cups dry roasted peanuts
  • 2 clove garlic
  • 2 tsp. soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 3 tbsp fish sauce (can get at most grocery stores, in the asian section)
  • 1 teaspoon tamarind paste (can find this at asian specialty stores. it lasts forever)
  • 1 tsp sambal chili paste
  • juice from 3 limes
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 2 lbs chicken thigh meat
  • 1 head cauliflower
  • 1/2 lb mushrooms

Put the peanuts, garlic, soy sauce, honey, fish sauce, tamarind paste, sambal, lime juice, and about 1/2 cup of water in a food processor or blender. Grind until smooth.

Put the chicken in a large soup pot or crock pot. Cut 1/2 the head of cauliflower into chuncks and add to pot. Add mushrooms (whole or sliced). Put in sauce and coconut milk and add enough water to cover the rest of the ingredients. Put the lid on and turn to low-heat. Allow to simmer for 2 hours or more. I always make this in a crockpot and let it simmer all day, but if you’re doing it on the stove, it should be done in about 2 hours on low heat.
