• * 1-2 T olive or canola oil
• * 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
• * 1 T finely minced ginger root
• * 2 tsp. finely minced jalapeno
• * salt to taste
• * 1 tsp. chile powder
• * 2 cups chicken stock
• * 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
• * 1/4 cp chopped peanuts (optional)
• * 2 T tomato paste
• * 1 T cider vinegar
• * 3 cups diced, cooked chicken roughly chopped, OR 1 can garbanzo beans
• * fresh ground black pepper to taste
• * 3-4 green onions thinly sliced

1. Finely chop the red onion, ginger, and jalapeno, and roughly chop the chicken. Heat oil in a heavy pan, add finely diced onion, ginger, and jalapenos, season with salt, and saute about 2 minutes. Add the chile powder, stir into other ingredients, and saute about 1 minute more.
4. Combine chicken stock, peanut butter, tomato paste, and apple cider vinegar, stir, and bring to a slight boil.
6. After it boils, lower heat to a very gentle simmer. Add chicken OR garbonzo beans OR a combination of both, gently stir to combine, and let simmer 10-15 minutes.
8. After 10-15 minutes, gently stir again if the oil from the peanut butter has separated. Serve hot, with a generous handful of green onion slices and peanuts on each serving.

Can be meaty - with chicken - or vegetarian - with garbanzo beans.
