I’m getting ready to move, which means using some pantry staples up, and refusing to buy more of others that have already run out, which is what led me to find this recipe! I think I’ll make it again once I have my new kitchen fully stocked, though, as it turns out to be delicious! I served this sauce over white rice and roasted cauliflower. This recipe is from the Ivory Coast, but I have no sense how authentic it is or isn’t.

Also, it appears I took VERY few pictures of making this admittedly unphotogenic meal, but I really do recommend trying it!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 lb ground beef (I used ground turkey)
  
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 cups water
• 1/2 cup peanut butter 
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 bouillon cube (I used beef bouillon)
• 1 tablespoon chili powder

Cook the ground beef(/turkey) in a medium pot over medium heat, stirring to break up, until fully browned.

Add the onion, tomato paste, and water. Bring to a boil, cover, and boil for 5 minutes. Add the peanut butter and boil uncovered another 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Add the salt, bouillon cube, and chili powder, and stir well, then let boil 5 additional minutes without stirring. Serve over rice, potatoes, and/or vegetables.
