    ⚙ Adding to the hot fat and fryingStove
    💡Add by cooking time: what needs long (onion, carrot, meat) goes in first, and what burns fast (garlic, dry spices) goes in last, only until fragrant.
  3. 3
    Add the chicken breast and fry 5 minutes.
    ⚙ Adding to the hot fat and fryingStove
  4. 4
    Add the salt and stir.
  5. 5
    Add the potatoes, water, coconut milk, onion and bay leaves and bring to a boil.
    Stove
  6. 6
    Turn down the heat, cover and simmer 25 minutes, until the potatoes are soft.
    ⚙ SimmeringStoveLid
    💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
  7. 7
    Add the date syrup and lemon juice and stir.
  8. 8
    Sprinkle the peanuts on top.
  9. 9
    Serve the stew with white rice.
