Brrr… with much of the country still in the thick of winter with freezing temperatures and heavy snow, the desert is not immune to colder than normal temperatures. As January is National Soup Month, it’s time to warm up with a tasty stew recipe that will help you eat like a Ugandan. Here’s one we’re excited to try thanks to our friends at food.com!
Ugandan Groundnut Stew
Ingredients:
- 450 g stewing beef
- 6 Tbs smooth peanut butter
- 2 medium onions (chopped)
- 450 g ripe tomatoes (chopped) or 400 g tomatoes (chopped)
- 3 fresh chili peppers
- 450 g carrots (or a mixture of carrots, turnips and courgettes)
- 1 pinch mixed herbs
- 2.5 cm piece fresh ginger, grated, or 1 tsp dry ginger powder
- salt and black pepper
Directions:
- Remove seed from chillies and chop them finely.
- Mix chillies with peanut butter, ginger, herbs, vegetables and tomatoes.
- Place meat in a saucepan with a tight fitting lid and add the vegetable mixture and some seasoning.
- Put on the lid and cook very gently for about 1.5 hours or until the meat is tender. Don’t worry about the lack of liquid because the meat and vegetables will make enough.
