Ingredients

  • For the Kanda:
  • 2 cups beef or goat meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup palm oil (or vegetable oil as a substitute)
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-2 hot peppers, chopped (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup ground peanuts (or peanut butter)
  • 4 cups beef or chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Meat

Heat the palm oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent.

Stir in the minced garlic and chopped hot peppers, and cook for another 2 minutes.

Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they break down and form a sauce.

Brown the Meat

Add the beef or goat meat to the pot. Cook until browned on all sides.

Add Broth and Simmer

Pour in the beef or chicken broth and bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 45 minutes, or until the meat is tender and cooked through.

Add Peanuts and Seasonings

Stir in the ground peanuts or peanut butter. If using peanut butter, you might need to add a bit more broth to reach the desired consistency.

Season with ground coriander, ground paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.

Serve

Enjoy your meal!
