Ugandan Groundnut Stew
Ebinyebwa
A rich and creamy stew made from groundnuts (peanuts), often served as a side dish or a main course with staples like matoke or rice. It has a slightly sweet and nutty flavor, with the oil from the peanuts naturally separating to the top when cooked.
🧂 Ingredientes
- 500 g Raw groundnuts(preferably with their pink coating intact)
- 1 large Onion(finely chopped)
- 2 medium Tomatoes(finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic(minced)
- 1 inch piece Ginger(grated)
- 4 cups Water(adjust for desired consistency)
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp Salt(or to taste)
- 1 tbsp Curry powder
👨🍳 Instrucciones
- 1
Grind the raw groundnuts into a fine paste using a food processor or blender. If using whole peanuts, roast them lightly first for enhanced flavor, but ensure they are not burnt.
- 2
In a saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
- 3
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook, stirring and mashing, until they break down and form a sauce-like consistency.
- 5
Stir in the curry powder and cook for a minute to release its aroma.
- 6
Add the groundnut paste to the saucepan and mix well with the tomato and onion mixture.
- 7
Gradually add the water, stirring continuously to form a smooth sauce. Start with about 2 cups and add more as needed to reach your desired consistency.

Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for at least 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The stew is ready when it thickens and the peanut oil starts to separate and rise to the surface.

Season with salt to taste. Adjust water if the stew becomes too thick.
