Re: More-with-less cookbook

[Guest guest]

It was the original - which I lost in a house fire. Here's the MWL

West African Groundnut Stew recipe. Bet this would be good over

spaghetti squash. (Thankfully I can find most of my favorites on the

Internet.)

West African Groundnut Stew

Yield: 8 Servings

3 tb Oil

3/4 c Tomato paste

2 lb Beef cubes, floured

6 c Water

Red pepper, if desired

1/2 ts Nutmeg

1/2 c Chunky peanut butter

1 tb Chili powder

2 tb Oil

4 md Onions, sliced

1 Clove garlic, minced

In a large, heavy kettle, heat the 3 T oil and add the beef cubes.

While they are browning, add the nutmeg and chili powder. When the

meat is browned, add the onions, garlic, tomato paste, water (and red

pepper).

Simmer until meat is tender.

A half hour before serving, heat the peanut butter and oil in a small

saucepan. Stir over medium heat 5 minutes. Add the peanut-butter

mixture slowly to the beef stew and simmer over low heat for 20

minutes. Serve over rice.

Serves 8.

Variations: Use chicken or turkey pieces instead of beef.

You may use leftover cooked meat instead of the beef by sauteing the

onion and garlic (and red pepper) first, then adding the meat with

the tomato paste and water.

Mine is from a 1982 publishing. It was copyrighted in 1976. In fact I do have the West African Groundnut Stew recipe in it...once I hunted for it. I like the recipe--have to give it a try. It will be interesting for sure!
