👨‍🍳 作り方

1. 1

   In a bowl, combine ground beef, half of the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, ground pumpkin seeds, beaten egg, salt, and pepper. Mix well and form into small meatballs.

   💡 プロのコツ: Ensure the pumpkin seeds are finely ground for a smoother texture.
2. 2

   Heat palm oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the remaining chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the chopped tomatoes and tomato paste to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring until the tomatoes start to break down.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter and warm water until smooth. Add this mixture to the pot along with the chili pepper (if using).

   💡 プロのコツ: Warming the water can help the peanut butter dissolve more easily.
5. 5

   Bring the sauce to a simmer, then carefully add the meatballs to the pot. Ensure they are submerged in the sauce.

   💡 プロのコツ: Add more water if the sauce becomes too thick.
6. 6

   Cover the pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 50-60 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened.

   💡 プロのコツ: Stir gently occasionally to prevent sticking.
7. 7

   Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot with rice or fufu.

   💡 プロのコツ: The sauce should be rich and flavorful.
