How to Make African Pork And Peanut Stew

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pot over high heat.
  2. Add 1.5 lbs of cubed pork and cook until browned on all sides and tender, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Stir in 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon curry powder, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes.
  4. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  5. Add 1 inch piece of grated ginger, 1 cinnamon stick, 1 bay leaf, 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste), 2 cups chicken broth, and 2 tablespoons tomato paste.
  6. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes.
  7. Stir in 1 cup creamy peanut butter until completely smooth and incorporated.
  8. Cook for another 3 minutes, uncovered, to allow the sauce to slightly thicken.
  9. Stir in 1 cup chopped tomatoes and 1 cup chopped bell pepper (any color).
  10. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  11. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Consider adding a splash of lemon juice for brightness.
  12. Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro and peanuts. Pass additional red pepper flakes on the side, if desired.
