👨🍳 Інструкції
- 1
If using meat, season it with salt and pepper. Heat the palm oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the meat on all sides, then remove and set aside.
- 2
Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- 3
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, curry powder, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- 5
In a separate bowl, whisk the peanut butter with about 1 cup of the vegetable broth or water until smooth. This helps prevent lumps.
- 6
Add the smooth peanut butter mixture to the pot, along with the remaining broth or water. Stir well to combine.
- 7
Return the browned meat (if using) to the pot. Bring the stew to a simmer.
- 8
Add the cubed sweet potato and chopped bell pepper. Cover and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the meat is tender and the sweet potatoes are cooked through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- 9
If using okra, add it during the last 15-20 minutes of cooking.
- 10
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. The stew should be thick and rich.
- 11
Serve hot, typically with rice, fufu, or other starches.
💡 Професійні поради
- ✓Using unsweetened peanut butter is crucial for the best flavor balance.
- ✓Stirring the stew frequently, especially as it thickens, prevents the peanut butter from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- ✓If the stew becomes too thick, add a little more broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
