Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Simmer the chicken in water until almost cooked. Drain and cool, reserving liquid.

  2. Step 2

    Toast the chilies, using a fork over a gas flame. Wrap in paper towels and set aside.

  3. Step 3

    In the oil, fry the walnuts, peanuts and bread until lightly browned. Combine in blender with the chilies, onions, garlic, ginger, spices, salt and pepper. Add one-and-a-half cups of the chicken stock and puree.

  4. Step 4

    Thin the mixture with one to two cups stock until you have a smooth puree. Return to pan. Bring to a boil. Add the chicken and simmer for about 20 minutes, until the sauce is thick.

  5. Step 5

    Sprinkle with sesame seeds and fresh-chopped cilantro. Garnish with the red pepper strips.
