  • About

Groundnut (peanut) stew is savory, sweet, and rich. Its origins are in West Africa, where it remains a staple, but you see it in the Caribbean and even occasionally in the American South too. Traditionally made with raw African groundnuts, which are smaller than American peanuts, it is commonly made with peanut butter now.

For a true West African experience, serve this with Foo Foo.
