Domada is the
Gambian version of the ubiquitous
West African 'peanut soup'. This is a vegetarian version that can either be used directly with rice or fufu or it can be used as the basis for a fish, meat or vegetarian dish.
Ingredients:
450ml peanut butter
450ml passata (tomato sauce)
small tin of tomato paste
2 large onions, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves
2 cubes Maggi or bouillon
1 tsp
black pepper
2 very hot
chillies (eg scotch bonnet) pounded to a paste with the garlic
2 tbsp oil
Method:
Mix the peanut butter with 700ml hot water to form a smooth paste. Meanwhile mix the onions, garlic and chilli mixture and black pepper with the tomato paste. Heat the oil in a large pan until almost smoking and add the tomato paste mixture. Fry for a minute, stirring continuously, before adding the passata and peanut butter mix. Add the bouillon cubes and bring the mixture to a boil.
Cover and reduce to a simmer then cook for 30 minutes or until the sauce becomes very thick. Allow to cool and store in the fridge over night (the sauce is best the next day).
When ready to serve re-heat the sauce add meat or vegetables as desired and serve with rice, sweet potatoes or fufu.
