💡 Consigli Professionali
- ✓Ensure you use unsweetened peanut butter for the best flavor.
- ✓Palm oil (dendê oil) is traditional and adds a distinct flavor and color. If unavailable, a neutral oil can be used, but the authentic taste will be altered.
- ✓The stew thickens as it cools, so adjust the consistency with a little more water if needed before serving.
