I recently made Gambian Domoda, and it was a heartwarming and flavorful experience! This traditional Gambian peanut stew features a rich and creamy sauce made from ground peanuts, vegetables, and tender meat, creating a comforting dish that’s perfect for sharing. Here’s how you can make this delicious dish at home:

Ingredients:​

• For the Stew:
  • 1 lb (450g) chicken, beef, or lamb, cut into pieces
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch piece of ginger, minced
  • 2-3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 medium tomatoes, chopped (or 1 can of diced tomatoes)
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1-2 carrots, sliced
  • 1-2 medium potatoes, diced
  • 1-2 cups water or chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1-2 teaspoons chili powder or fresh chili for spice
• For the Peanut Sauce:
  • 1 cup natural peanut butter (unsweetened)
  • 1 cup water (or more, as needed)

Instructions:​

1. Prepare the Peanut Sauce:​

• In a bowl, mix the peanut butter with 1 cup of water until smooth. Set aside. You can adjust the consistency by adding more water later if needed.

2. Sauté the Aromatics:​

• In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes).
• Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

3. Brown the Meat:​

• Add the meat pieces to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned on all sides (about 5-7 minutes).

4. Add Vegetables and Tomatoes:​

• Stir in the chopped tomatoes, bell pepper, carrots, and potatoes. Mix well and cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly.

5. Combine with Peanut Sauce:​

• Pour in the peanut sauce and stir everything together. Add water or broth to achieve your desired consistency; the stew should be thick but pourable.
• Bring the stew to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the meat is tender and the flavors meld together. Stir occasionally and add more water if the stew thickens too much.

6. Serve:​

• Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. If you like it spicy, you can add chili powder or fresh chilies at this stage.
• Serve the Domoda hot over steamed rice, couscous, or with flatbreads, allowing the rich sauce to soak into the grains.

Conclusion​

Gambian Domoda is a delicious and hearty dish that showcases the incredible flavors of West African cuisine. The creamy peanut sauce combined with tender meat and vegetables makes for a comforting meal that’s perfect for family gatherings or special occasions. Give this recipe a try, and enjoy a taste of Gambia right at your table!
