World Cup Special: Ghana - Groundnut Stew

The Ghanian groundnut stew is normally served with chicken but we thought we would do a vegetarian version with beans instead.

Serves 2/3

1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 medium onions, chopped
1 carrots, chopped
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1/2 can tomatoes
1 can of beans - preferably black beans but can use red kidney beans
1 teaspoon salt
1 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tbsp chunky peanut butter

1. Measure oil into a large saucepan and heat over medium-high heat.
2. Add the onions and carrots and sauté, until vegetables are softened.
3. Add green pepper and continue cooking a about 5 more minutes.
4. Stir in canned tomatoes with liquid (do not drain them), canned beans, salt, and cayenne pepper. Lower heat, cover, and simmer about 15 minutes.
5. Stir in peanut butter and continue simmering, covered for 10 more minutes. Serve hot with rice and sprinkle with parsley....

Score: Food 2 Game 4 (great food but an even better game.... I am devastated that Ghana were knocked out under the circumstances but it did make for an exciting game).
