Ghana

Heat oil in a pan, add chopped onion, and fry until translucent. Deglaze with water. Stir in salt, sambal oelek, and tomato paste. Bring to a boil briefly. Remove from the heat. Stir in pindakaas. Add to the heat. Bring to a boil while stirring. The sauce is very thick, so be careful with the bubbling; I’ve already gotten some blisters on my hand.
