It is also known as Maafe, Peanut soup or Sauce d’arachide. The term groundnut is used interchangeably with peanuts- It is called peanuts in America but most people outside of the states refer to it as Groundnut. It is super easy to make when you use Peanut butter paste. You can use any variety depending on what you have on hand. I usually go for 100% Peanut butter for an intensified peanut flavor without the added sugar. However, I must admit that I sometimes use whatever brand I have on hand. You can easily make your own peanut butter and avoid all the commercial brand which contains sugar, salt, oils, and often preservatives. This can be achieved by blending roasted peanuts in a food processor. Not only is it healthier, but it also tastes much better!
The basic ingredients for this sauce are peanut butter, tomato sauce, onions, meat, and spices depending on availability. In this recipe, I will omit oil because personally I think it is healthier without the oil and taste superbly [adthrive-in-post-video-player video-id=”UiSa2rAw” upload-date=”2020-02-21T17:21:26.000Z” name=”Groundnut/Peanut Soup” description=”Groundnut/Peanut soup is a rich, nutty, and palate-pleasing meal when served with rice, plantains or any starch.” player-type=”default” override-embed=”default”]
