Ugandan Groundnut Stew - Uganda traditional dish

🧂 재료

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

👨‍🍳 조리법

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.
8
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.
9
Season with salt to taste. Adjust water if the stew becomes too thick.
