Description
A traditional West African cooking method where groundnuts are stewed in a flavorful broth.
Technical
The starches in the groundnuts break down, releasing their natural oils and creating a rich, creamy texture. The Maillard reaction occurs between the amino acids and reducing sugars in the groundnuts and the aromatics, contributing to the development of the stew's flavor and aroma.
