Peanut Butter Stew (Maafe) | West African Groundnut Soup

This Peanut Butter Stew (also called Maafe or Groundnut Soup) is a dish I grew up with — rich, creamy, and full of deep, comforting flavor. It’s made with smooth peanut butter, tender chicken, and a blend of simple spices that come together beautifully. In this video, I’ll show you how I make it step-by-step — from building the base to getting the texture just right. It’s perfect with rice, boiled plantains, or fufu, and it always hits the spot when you want something warm and filling. Whether it’s your first time trying it or you already love it, I hope this version becomes one of your favorites too.
