Maffe (Gambian Peanut Stew)

Maffe is one of The Gambia’s most cherished dishes — a thick, creamy stew made from ground peanuts simmered with tender beef, chicken, or fish. Slow-cooked with potatoes, carrots, onions, and sometimes cabbage, this hearty dish is full of deep, nutty flavor and warming spices.
It’s a comfort food that brings people together — simple, satisfying, and delicious.

Best Paired With: White rice, fufu, or boiled yam.
