How to Make African Groundnut Stew
- Brown 1 lb ground beef and 1 medium onion (chopped) in a large pot over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can stewed tomatoes, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce (adjust to taste).
- Add 2 cups of water (or more, to reach desired consistency) to create a medium sauce.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 30 minutes. Stir in 1 cup creamy peanut butter and simmer for an additional 15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
