About Caril de Amendoim
Matope José’s caril de amendoim is a Mozambican chicken curry thickened with freshly pounded peanuts. Water is mixed with the peanuts and strained to produce the peanut milk that forms its sauce.
Chicken, onion, garlic, tomato and olive oil accompany the peanut base, with salt supplying the seasoning. The cooking concentrates the peanut milk into a thick curry.
Rice accompanies the chicken and its nut-rich sauce. The pounded peanuts provide the body of the dish, surrounding the chicken pieces with the smooth strained peanut preparation.
