đšâđł Instruktioner
- 1
Season lamb cubes with salt, pepper, cumin, and coriander. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Brown the lamb cubes in batches until well-seared on all sides. Remove lamb and set aside.
- 2
Add the chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Stir in the crushed tomatoes and chili flakes (if using). Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the tomatoes to break down slightly.
- 4
Return the seared lamb to the pot. Add the baobab powder (or rehydrated pulp) and peanut butter. Stir well to combine. Add bouillon cubes (if using).

Pour in enough water or broth to just cover the lamb. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the lamb is very tender.
đĄ Proffstips: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. - 6
Add the chopped sweet pepper, sliced carrots, and okra to the stew. Stir gently. If the stew is too thick, add a little more water or broth. Continue to simmer, covered, for another 30-40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened.
đĄ Proffstips: The okra will help thicken the sauce naturally. - 7
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. The baobab should impart a pleasant tanginess.

Serve hot, traditionally accompanied by white rice, millet couscous (thieb guers), or fonio.
đĄ Proffstips: Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired.
