Mafé (also known as Mafe, Maffé, Maffe, or Maafe) is a traditional Wolof dish (common to
Sénégal and
The Gambia) and another version of the traditional
African Groundnut Stew. In general it is made with mutton, but can also be made with fowl, fish, or simply with vegetables.
Ingredients:
750g lamb or mutton
2 onions, finely chopped
2 tbsp tomato paste
4 tomatoes, cut into sections
salt and black pepper to taste
1 scotch bonnet
chilli, pounded to a paste
mix of any of the following: cabbage (1/2), carrot, cassava, aubergine, potato, squash, sweet potato, turnip, cubed
'Maggi' cube or beef stock cube with a pinch of cumin and coriander
250ml peanut butter
400ml beef stock
Oil to fry
Method:
Heat about 6 tbsp in a large cooking pot or a casserole dish. Fry the meat and onions over high heat then reduce the heat and simmer for a few minutes. Add all the remaining ingredients (except peanut butter and stock) and simmer until all the ingredients are tender (about 35 minutes), adding water if it becomes too dry.
Reduce the heat then add the peanut butter. Stir-in sufficient beef stock to make a smooth sauce. Allow to heat through then serve on a bed of rice.
