popular and simple recipe from Côte d’Ivoire

Rinse the meat briefly and sauté it in a sufficiently large pot. Do not brown it. Add the vegetable broth, cover, and bring to a boil. Once the broth is bubbling, gradually add the peanut butter and stir it in slowly. Tip: You can also vary the heat at this point to reduce calories and use only half a jar of peanut butter. Then reduce the heat, cover halfway, and cook until the peanut butter is creamy and no flakes remain. If you don’t want the meat to become too soft, remove it from the pot and add it back to the sauce later. Only now add the remaining spices and ingredients to the sauce. Stir in the tomato paste. Add salt, paprika, and pepper. Finely chop the onion and add it. Chop the bell peppers, carrots, and celery, if desired, and add them. Simmer until a film of oil forms on the surface. This can take about an hour. Finally, season again with salt and pepper and serve with rice.
