  Groundnut Stew :: Sierra Leone, Africa

Here it is, folks. Not sure why anyone else would do this unless my African children are coming over for dinner. But actually, it’s not bad. I rather enjoyed it.

1 lb. stew meat 2 large tomatoes, diced 1/2 cup olive oil 1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter 1 large onion, chopped 1 large red pepper, chopped 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon ground tumeric

Season beef with cumim, cayenne pepper, and tumeric. Let marinate for 3 hours. Brown meat in oil. Add some water and let simmer until tender. Remove from pan and set aside. In same oil, saute onion and pepper. Add tomatoes and still briskly. Mix peanut butter with water to form a thin paste and add to vegetables. Add beef, stir, and allow to cook for 15 minutes. Serve with rice or boiled sweet potatoes.

There you have it. Groundnut stew.

Thanks Jody for sharing!

My Photo
Name:
Location: Tulsa, OK, United States

I am a wife, (soon-to-be) Mom, but a child of God first & foremost. I spend most of my time with my husband or in the blogosphere. I like to read blog stories of families who are growing through adoption, especially international adoption, especially from Ethiopia, or elsewhere in Africa. I love to go to the movies or just sit on the couch with my handsome husband & watch one at home. Dale & I especially love movies that make us think, that are redemptive, & will spark conversation; we love talking! I can watch movies over & over & still enjoy them like the first time. I LOVE to capture our family’s memories on camera & scrapbook it! We will do anything & go anywhere to see a good concert; We love to travel. We have been to 12 states together already. We went to Columbus to see Genesis & San Francisco to see the DM*B (& to get engaged). We spent our honeymoon in the mountains in Arizona. Dale loves Presidential history, while I love studying about the World Wars & stories of those affected by it. I love to organize everything; however, keeping it kept up is still a challenge! I don’t like scary movies & I am afraid of clowns, gutters, & spiders (ask, I’ll surely explain).
