Directions
Clay Pot African Groundnut Stew, This is based on a recipe from The Best of Clay Pot Cooking cookbook The intro says, In Africa, peanuts are called groundnuts and are often pounded to a paste and used in soups, stews, and sauces Here, peanut butter, tomatoes, and spices combine to make a creamy, rich sauce for this beef stew Serve it with steamed collard greens or kale or a leafy green salad , This stew was excellent! I did find that it needed a little salt So many African recipes call for sweet potatoes that I decided to add some I lined the bottom of the clay pot with slices , topped with the browned beef, then added the veggies and sauce I served with rice pilaf with almonds I plan to use this for company fare , My family didn’t really care for the taste of this stew DH & I couldn’t figure out what was off about it Sorry I couldn’t rate it higher Made for NA*ME Tag
