Mafé is a famous and popular West African dish, known by many names, including groundnut stew, mafe, maffé, maffe, sauce d'arachide, sauce z'ara, tigadèguèna and tigadene. Variations of the dish appear in the cuisine of nations throughout West and Central Africa, particularly in Senegal, Gambia, Mali and the Ivory Coast. It's a delicious stew made with chicken, fish, or lamb simmered in a fragrant sauce thickened with ground peanuts and a colourful combination of mixed vegetables. Traditionally, the stew is made with raw peanuts roasted over charcoal fires then ground by hand into a flour, which I'm sure makes a wonderful sauce but sounds enormously labour intensive. Peanut butter is a much faster and easier substitute. You can make your own peanut butter or use a natural version, minus the stablizers and sugar found in many commercial brands, to get the right silky texture and pure peanut flavour. Chicken thighs marinated in a spice rub of garlic, salt, cayenne, minced shallot and vegetable oil The chicken is lightly browned on both sides in a non-stick skillet Once lightly browned and cooked through, the chicken is set aside Recipes for West African Stew vary wildly, but commonly include chicken, tomato, onion, garlic, cabbage, and leaf or root vegetables. In the coastal regions of Senegal, Mafé is frequently made with fish. Other versions include okra, corn, carrots, cinnamon, hot peppers, paprika, black pepper, turmeric, and other spices. Mafé is traditionally served with white rice in Senegambia, fonio in Mali, couscous in West Africa and the Sahara, or fufu and sweet potatoes in the more tropical areas, such as the Ivory Coast. A variation of the stew, Virginia Peanut Soup, even traveled with enslaved Africans to North America in the early 1700s. The recipe for Mafé, in true African style, can be tweaked according to what ingredients you have on hand, by adding carrots, squash or sweet potatoes to the dish, in lieu of meat or in addition to it. Served with rice, chapati and sautéed greens such as Sukuma Wiki, this sweet and savoury West African Stew comes together with mouthwatering results.
