About Mafé

Betty Davies presents mafé as a traditional West African peanut-and-tomato stew. This Senegal-style version selects the published beef option and serves it with plain white rice.

Peanut butter gives the sauce richness, with tomato paste, onion and carrots alongside the meat. Thyme, bay leaves, salt and black pepper season the stew, while peanut oil is its cooking medium.

The meat and vegetables cook together in the thick sauce. The recipe explicitly serves the finished stew hot over rice, with distinct pieces of beef and carrots in the peanut-rich mixture.
