👨🍳 Ohjeet
- 1
If using fresh cassava leaves, wash them thoroughly and pound or process them until finely chopped. If using frozen, thaw and chop.
- 2
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- 3
Add minced garlic and chopped tomatoes (and their juices if using canned). Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- 4
Stir in the finely chopped cassava leaves. Cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring, until they begin to wilt.
- 5
In a separate bowl, whisk the peanut butter with about 1 cup of the water or broth until smooth. This prevents lumps.

Add the peanut butter mixture to the pot along with the remaining water or broth. Stir well to combine.

Bring the stew to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cassava leaves are tender and the stew has thickened. Add more liquid if it becomes too thick.

Season with salt, black pepper, and chili pepper (if using) to taste. Stir well.
