Instructions:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until they become fragrant and translucent.
- Add the meat of your choice (chicken, beef, or lamb) to the pot and brown it on all sides. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the peanut butter and let it melt and combine with the meat and onions.
- Add the diced tomatoes, chicken or beef broth, carrots, potatoes, and bell pepper to the pot. Stir well.
- Season the stew with paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Adjust the level of spiciness to your preference by adding more or less cayenne pepper.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the stew simmer for about 40-45 minutes, or until the meat is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
- Serve the Maafe hot over cooked rice or couscous. Enjoy this West African delight!
