Chicken Pork And Potatoes In Peanut Sauce

This is a nice meat and potatoes dish of peruvian origin adapted from south american food and cooking by jenni fleetwood and marina fillipelli. this is a subtley flavored, hearty and filling dish. i increased the seasonings from the original recipe, but naturually, you can add as much or as little as you like. if you like a little heat, it would probably be good with some tabasco. i may add some carrots some time as well.
