HuldaAfrican Peanut Stew is one of the favorites of African stews. This stew is creamy, delicious and easy to cook. It can be enjoyed with rice or plantain.
To cook this stew, you need peanut paste. When buying the peanut paste, choose the one made just from peanuts, with no added sugar, salt, or preservatives. Alternatively, you can make your own paste by roasting the peanut on low heat, letting it cool, and then ground it.
I have used chicken thighs to cook this stew, you can use another kind of meat or fish if you prefer. I prefer roasting the chicken to avoid fat. This stew can also be made without added oil since peanuts contain oil. I have used a tiny portion of oil here.
