Peanut and vegetables stew / Mafe Kandia – West Africa (Originally from Mali/Guinea)
Added to the rich and smooth peanut soup, okra, zucchini and cabbage provide some surprising texture and deep flavors as they melt into the pot.
Serves 4
1. Put 2 tbsp of oil in a cooking pot. When the oil is hot, add the chopped onions and garlic in a pot with 2 tbsp of oil.
2. Place the chicken and beef with salt and pepper. (skip this step if you are not using meat, obviously )
3. Once the meat is well-browned, add enough water to cover it, then add another 2 cups of water.
4. Once that mixture is boiling, pour in the peanut butter, the tomato sauce and the tomato paste.
5. Allow the soup to simmer. Once it starts boiling again, add salt, pepper, chili to taste as well as the okra, cabbage and zucchini.
6. Cook at medium temperature for 20-30 minutes. The soup is done when the oil from the peanut butter appears at the surface of the pot. Remove it if you’d like.
7.Serve with rice.
