Traditional Peanut Butter Beef Stew

I remember when I was a kid we used to go to our rural home on holidays. My grandmother always had many recipes to cook for us so that we do not remember going back to the city for better food. To be honest I do not love traditional dishes but when my grandmother cooked l always enjoyed her food especially if she used peanut butter. Peanut butter is most used. In Zimbabwe peanut butter can be used together with cabbages, caterpillars, spinach, rape , rice and samp . So today l thought of  sharing with you one of the dish that my grandmother always liked to serve for dinner.

TRADITIONAL PEANUT BUTTER BEEF STEW

Ingredients

beef (350g).
one tomato.
one onion.
peanut butter (2 table spoon).
500mls water.
cooking oil for frying.
salt.

COOKING METHOD.
  • First boil your meat with salt as usually until its tender.
  • After you have boiled your meat fry it until its golden brown..
  • add your chopped onions and tomatoes to the meat and let it simmer until its is well cooked.
  • add 2tsp of peanut butter and stir.
  • add 500ml of water and close your pot for at least five minutes and your peanut butter stew will be ready to serve.
If you do not want to fry your meat you can as well do so but make sure to add the chopped onions and tomatoes when the water in the meat is still there so that the tomatoes are well cooked.
