👨🍳 조리법
- 1
Rinse the soaked Bambara beans and place them in a large pot. Cover with about 4 cups of water, add the vegetable stock cube, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the beans are tender. Drain and set aside, reserving about 1 cup of the cooking liquid.

While the beans are cooking, heat the vegetable oil in a separate large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- 3
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Stir in the chopped bell peppers and optional chili pepper. Cook for 5 minutes until slightly softened.
- 5
Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, ground cumin, ground coriander, and paprika. Stir well to combine and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- 6
Add the cooked Bambara beans and the reserved cooking liquid to the pot. Stir everything together. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat, cover, and cook for at least 30 minutes, allowing the stew to thicken and the flavors to deepen. Season with salt to taste.

To prepare the Tô: In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. In a bowl, whisk together the sorghum flour and millet flour until well combined.
- 8
Gradually sprinkle the flour mixture into the boiling water, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon to prevent lumps. Continue stirring vigorously as the mixture thickens to a smooth, stiff dough consistency.

Once the Tô is very thick and pulls away from the sides of the pot, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for another 10 minutes.

To serve, spoon the Bambara bean stew into bowls and serve the Tô alongside. The Tô is traditionally eaten by hand, rolled into a ball, and dipped into the stew.
