Chicken, shrimp and peanut stew.  Marinate 4 cut up boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the juice of 1 lemon, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tsp salt,  1 tsp pepper in refrigerator for 30 minutes.  In a heavy saucepan heat 2 tsp peanut oil and cook chicken and 1 diced onion for about 10 minutes.  Add 1 cup chicken stock, 1/3 cup coconut milk, 1/2 cup dry roasted peanuts (ground fine) and 1 minced serrano pepper.  Simmer 20 minutes.  Add 1 pound peeled shrimp.  Cook until shrimp cooked through.  Served with Brazilian rice (Wash 2 cups rice until water runs clear.  Saute 1 chopped onion and 2 chopped garlic cloves in 2 tbsp olive oil for 3 minutes.  Add rice and saute 3-5 min.  Add 4 cups water.  Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook 20 minutes.  Fluff)

 Both recipes were from Cooking the Brazilian Way.  This was much tastier than last night's.  Reminded us of Thai food.  Felt like it needed a little cilantro at the end.
