For many years I have been making a groundnut chicken stew that a friend brought back from Niger, where he served in the Peace Corps (http://www.food.com/recipe/peanut-chicken-from-niger-390062). I thought it might be fun to try another groundnut stew, this time with beef, and from Senegal rather than Niger. I used only 1-1/2 pounds of beef, and substituted two serrano peppers -- with seeds/ribs -- to get the right amount of heat for us (quite spicy but not "blow the top of your head off hot"). This version was delicious: not as tomato-y as the one I'd been making, but with more veggies, which was a nice variation on the theme. I served it over brown rice with a spinach salad on the side. Will certainly make it again!

This recipe is exactly what I have been looking for. A teacher's aide at my daughter's school was from Senegal and made this when they were studing African culture. I always use chicken and it is delicious!

I was looking for something that I would prepare on the fire... this was wanderful. I doubled the quantities of carrots and I renounced to the canola oil because I didn't have. After 3 hours cooking (coverd) we had the plasure to try it. Fantastic in the taste and for this autumn days. Thanks

Loved this recipe. We upped the veggies a bit, but chopped up fairly find just to help the little ones eat them without complaints (onion, celery, bell peppers, and carrots.) I wish I had thought to add mushrooms as they would be good with it as well. I didn't have a chili on hand, so I added 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (powder form) to the mix. Starting at step 8 I put everything into a low crockpot for about 3-4 hours. Very yum served up with brown rice.

I found this alright, my husband liked it more than I did, but i've liked other stew better. It was the PB that attracted me and you can taste and its not a bad taste, i'm just not sure what I was expecting

Half of my family enjoyed every bite and the other half gave it a "it's pretty good" so it was a success in my book! I enjoyed the flavor and the ease of making. Thanks for posting it!

I decided to try this using no meat and all veggies. It was wonderful. I used lots of carrots, sweet and regular potatoes and added broccoli just before it was done cooking. This was easy to make with great results. Thanks for the recipe.

I've had this at a Senegalese restaurant and this recipe tasted just like it! The house smelled so good while this was simmering! I added a sweet potato to the pot and think next time I'll make it all veggie, but the beef was still great. What a great find!

This was a lovely spicy stew (I used 2 chilies). I only had half the amount of meat so I did a lot more veggies but we prefer it that way anyway. I think that was the reason why you couldn't really taste the peanut butter!

This was fantastic - I was a little skeptical about the depth of flavor, since there are few spices/herbs. HOWEVER, I was wrong! This was very hearty and warm. My parents, dh and I all loved it. I love that you can throw this together as all ingredients are in the cupboard already. I'll make this again soon and often! I added 2 TBSP Splenda to the (doubled) recipe. Served it over spinach for a low carb dinner.

Ooh, nice! Different! I made this using chicken. I usually go for complicated spice blends and worried a bit over the recipe's straightforward ingredients - but I needn't have! This is very tasty and using 2 chiles brought wonderful warmth to the dish. Instead of a thyme sprig I used 1/4 ts dried thyme (as I didn't have any fresh!). Thanks for posting!

This is excellent especially for peanut lovers. I used gravy beef (stewing beef) and ended up leaving it on the stove on very low for an extra hour. For me personally this would be an amazing veggie dish and next time I will add all different veggies but Dave loved the added meat. I took Beck's advice and added 2 chilli's as well at about 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Served over rice. Thanks Kate.

This is wonderful! We do something similar here in Morocco but I found this to be more tasty for me. Everyone loved it and we love stews and soups. I will definitely take this recipe to Maine with me when I go back in December to treat my parents. Thank you!

Wow! I normally avoid making anything with the word 'stew' in the title - too many bland childhood dinners! - but this is great! I quartered the recipe for the two of us but still used 1/4 cup peanut butter. I used a couple of chillies, unseeded, and then added cayenne pepper to taste. I cooked this down to a 'dry' curry consistency, which went great with bread. Thanks for posting Kate, this was yummy!
