Description
Mandy Mazliah from Sneakyveg.com has rustled up this gorogeous stew. On preparing it she says 'Sudanese food isn’t typically vegetarian, with stews often containing meat or fish. However, as is often the case, it’s easy enough to make a dish vegetarian by swapping a few ingredients, so I decided to make a Sudanese-inspired stew. When I read that Sudan is one of the world’s largest producers of peanuts – or ground nuts – I knew that I wanted to make a peanut stew as not only is it delicious but my kids have had one before and enjoyed it"
