Peanut stew, also known as maafe, groundnut stew, and several other names is originally from Mali in Western Africa. It is made in other countries in and outside of Western Africa and is known by a variety of names. The flavor changes from country to country, but peanuts, or peanut paste, is a staple. We use peanut butter, which imparts peanut flavor and a creamy, rich texture. If you have a peanut allergy, try sun-butter or almond butter. Curry powder is not a traditional ingredient, but provides a boost of flavor and color in one spice blend, making it more accessible if you do not have a slew of spices at home.

This recipe was inspired by Oldways.
