🇸🇳 Senegal recipe
Mafé
Mafé is Senegal's beloved groundnut stew, a rich and comforting one-pot meal where tender chunks of beef are braised in a luscious sauce of roasted peanut butter, tomatoes, and root vegetables. Widely enjoyed across West Africa under different names, the Senegalese version is distinguished by its depth of flavor from slow-cooked tomato paste and the subtle heat of scotch bonnet peppers. It is a dish that warms both body and spirit.
