Ivorian Meat in Peanut Sauce (Mafé)

What's the big idea?
Mafé is a famous and popular dish throughout much of West Africa - Gambia, Senegal and Mali as well as the Ivory Coast. It is a stew made with meat - beef is used in this example, but goat is commonly used, or chicken - stewed in a rich sauce made with peanuts. It goes by many local names - Mafé, Maffé, Sauce d'Arachide, Sauce Z'ara, Tigadèguèna and Tigadene.
Serve with plain boiled rice or couscous.

Shopping List Here's the list of what you need, and if you click the link on the right, the nice people at Tesco will deliver it for you! 2 tablespoons of peanut or vegetable oil 1½lbs stewing beef 1 onion, chopped 2-3 garlic cloves, minced 2 teaspoons finely chopped ginger 2 tablespoons tomato puree 1 tin chopped tomatoes 400ml beef stock 200g (½lb) peanut butter Salt and black pepper to taste

What To Do In a large frying pan - a wok is better - heat the oil and fry the beef until lightly browned all over. Add the onion, garlic cloves and chopped ginger to the pan. Continue frying for a further 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and tomato puree. Turn down the heat, cover and simmer slowly for 8-10 minutes, stirring regularly. Add sufficient stock to prevent the stew from becoming too dry. Simmer for a further 10 minutes. Stir in the peanut butter. Season to taste, and simmer for a further 40 minutes, continuing to stir regularly and adding more stock as needed. Adjust the seasoning if required, and serve with rice or couscous and fresh green vegetables. ...or... For a fuller meal, add chopped potatoes, yams or other root vegetables at the early stages of preparation. Entirely vegetarian versions - with aubergine, okra, squash, peppers etc - can be made.
