👨‍🍳 조리법

1. 1

   Prepare the groundnut stew: Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onions and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

   ⏱️ 7 minutes

   💡 전문가 팁: Don't brown the onions too much.
2. 2

   Add cubed beef or chicken to the pot and brown on all sides. Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

   ⏱️ 5 minutes
3. 3

   Add crushed tomatoes (and optional bell peppers/chili peppers). Stir well and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

   ⏱️ 5 minutes
4. 4

   In a separate bowl, whisk the peanut butter with 2 cups of warm water until smooth. Pour this mixture into the pot with the meat and vegetables.

   💡 전문가 팁: Ensure the peanut butter is well-dissolved to avoid lumps.
5. 5

   Add the remaining 1-2 cups of water to reach your desired stew consistency. Season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat, cover, and cook for at least 30 minutes, or until the meat is tender and the stew has thickened.

   ⏱️ 30 minutes

   💡 전문가 팁: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
6. 6

   Prepare the corn flour dumplings: While the stew simmers, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil in a separate medium saucepan. Gradually whisk in the cornmeal, a little at a time, to prevent lumps. Continue whisking vigorously until the mixture starts to thicken.

   💡 전문가 팁: Use a sturdy whisk or wooden spoon.
7. 7

   Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the cornmeal mixture cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture should become a thick, dough-like consistency.

   ⏱️ 20 minutes
8. 8

   Once the cornmeal is cooked, wet your hands slightly and shape the dough into small, golf-ball-sized dumplings. You can also drop spoonfuls directly into the simmering stew during the last 10 minutes of its cooking time.

   💡 전문가 팁: Dampening your hands prevents sticking.
9. 9

   Serve the hot groundnut stew with the corn flour dumplings on the side, or place dumplings directly into bowls of stew.

   💡 전문가 팁: Enjoy immediately.
