Spicy West African Yam Soup RecipeOrigin: West Africa Period: Traditional |
Ingredients:This is another of those typically West African dishes that though called a 'soup' is more what we would call a 'stew' especially as peanut butter is added as a thickener.
1 tsp vegetable oil 
Spicy West African Yam Soup Preparation:Method:Add the oil to a pot over medium heat and use to fry the onion, yam (or sweet potato) and garlic until the onion is soft (about 5 minutes). Turn down the heat then add the chilli paste and fry for 1 minute before adding the chicken stock, thyme and cumin. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer then cover and cook for 15 minute. Add the tomatoes, chickpeas and courgette. Return the mixture to a simmer and cook, uncovered until the vegetables are tender (about 15 minutes). Remove 6 tbsp of the stock and mix with the peanut butter to make a smooth paste. Return to the pan along with the cooked rice and continue simmering until everything is warmed through. Serve on a bed of rice with spiced plantain chips. |
