    Yes please :j I've used half a jar, will have some on toast over the next few days, and some in the satay - so that'll be one jar gone :D

    for 8 portions I use the following:

    2 chillies (deseeded)
    1 finger sized peice of ginger
    2 garlic cloves
    2 tbls Extra Virgin Olive oil

    blend and fry in a saute pan

    fry fresh chicken or use leftover chicken (I use about 1/4 leftover chicken breast from Sunday dinner)

    Add 250g Mushrooms, 125g peppers, 75g sweetcorn and 75g Peas

    then add:

    500g Greek Yogurt
    300g Chicken Stock (I use HM from leftover carcass from Sunday dinner as it is the best
    )
    340g of Peanut butter (I used a whole jar of basic Peanut butter as the crunch add something!!)

    Simmer for 10 - 15 minutes, until all the ingredients blend together.

    Season!

    serve with rice!!!
