Maafe (West African Peanut Stew)
Senegalese · West Africa
STOVETOP
8/10
Rich peanut butter stew with beef and root vegetables, common across the Sahel region from Senegal to Mali.
Why It Works
Peanut butter adds protein, fat, and depth simultaneously; the tomato paste provides acid to balance the richness; root vegetables break down partially and thicken the stew.
