Variations on this hot sauce appear all over Africa, with the key
ingredient being peanuts in any form. Here, peanut butter works
well--and it's the cook's choice to use smooth or crunchy! Ladle it over
fried chicken or fish.
Ingredients
1/2 pound dried fish, such as salt cod, coarsely chopped
4 1/2 cups water
2 onions, chopped
2 teaspoons peanut oil
4 tomatoes, chopped
2 teaspoons cayenne powder
1 teaspoon curry powder (or to taste)
1 cup peanut butter
Salt to taste
Instructions
Soak the dried fish in 2 cups of water until it becomes soft. Drain and
pat dry.
In a large skillet, fry the onions in the oil until brown, about five
minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook uncovered for 5 minutes. Add the
fish, curry, cayenne, remaining water, peanut butter, and salt. Simmer,
uncovered, for 45 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to the desired
consistency.
