Preparation
- Simmer the chicken in water until almost cooked. Drain and cool, reserving liquid.
- Toast the chilies, using a fork over a gas flame. Wrap in paper towels and set aside.
- 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.
- 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.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and fresh-chopped cilantro. Garnish with the red pepper strips.
