Domoda
Domoda (or Domodah) is Gambia’s version of Sub-Saharan Africa‘s ubiquitous Groundnut Stew. In its simplest versions, made without meat, it is basically a Peanut Sauce. It can be made with meat of some sort; usually beef or bushmeat. If made with chicken it is quite similar to Chicken in Peanut-Tomato Sauce. Whatever form it takes, it is usually a peanut sauce, served over rice.
Domoda Recipe
Domoda is Gambia's version of Sub-Saharan Africa's ubiquitous Groundnut (peanut) Stew.
Ingredients
cooking oil for frying
1 lb stew meat (optional)
1 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced (optional)
3 tomatoes, or canned tomatoes, tomato paste or tomato sauce
Maggi® cube or Maggi® sauce, or bouillon cube, beef broth or stock, or vegetable broth
1 squash or eggplant, cubed (optional)
1 chile pepper, cleaned and chopped (optional)
1 tbsp lemon juice (optional)
2 ½ cups peanut butter (natural and unsweetened) or homemade peanut paste
salt (to taste)
black pepper
cayenne pepper or red pepper
Instructions
1
Heat oil in a large pot. Brown the meat (if you are using meat) and onions.
2
Add all remaining ingredients, except peanut butter. Add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until everything is done (20 minutes or so).
