How To Prepare Goat Meat (Afra)
~2.7 mins read
Dibi, Afra or Chukuya is West African, specifically Gambia popular street food. I was first introduced to it by my Gambian college friend. Since on a lowcarb diet I always try to find new ways to cook my meat. My favorite meat for this recipe is lamb, goat, beef with skin and a bit of fat on. I tried it with chicken several time and it wasn’t my favorite but my kids loved it. There are different way to make this Dibi or Afra. Every cook’s style is different but the goal is to get the targeted flavor, texture, taste and look. This recipe is so easy to make.

Normally this is made on a grill but you can make this on the stove, in the oven or in the instant pot.

This below recipe is for oven. You will notice I serve the meat in a brown paper, it is because that is how it is mostly serve in Gambian street. I just wanted that street food feel at home. Anyway, below are the list of ingredients you need for this recipe:
Meat of your choice
Onion
Mustard
Cayenne pepper
Pinch of Salt
Liquid smoke
Meat tenderize. (optional)
Bouillon to taste
1 tbsp Black pepper

Slice onion in thicker round cut, open them up and set aside.

Remove the meat from the oven (I baked my meat on the baking rack therefore the water drains into the bottom pan. If you do not have that baking rack, and you baked your meat in a pan, strain the water after the 50 mins of baking.

How To Prepare Domodah Groundnut Stew
~6.0 mins read
Peanut stew or groundnut stew, also called as maafe (Wolofmafémaffémaffe), sauce d'arachide (French), tigadèguèna or domoda, is a stew that is a staple food in Western Africa.[1] It originates from the Mandinka and Bambara people of Mali.[2]

Main ingredientsMeat (lambbeef, or chicken), tomatoesonionsgarliccabbageleaf or root vegetablespeanuts
The proper name for it in the Mandinka language is domodah or tigadegena (lit. 'peanut butter sauce,' where tige is 'peanut,' dege is 'paste,' and na is 'sauce') in Bamanankan.[3]

Domodah is also used by Gambians, having been borrowed from the Mandinka language.[4][5] In Senegal domodah or domoda referts to flour-thickened soup or stew, which is different from mafe that uses peanut paste.[6] It is a favorite dish among several Senegal and Gambia ethnic groups. With the huge expansion of groundnut cultivation during the colonial period, Maafe has also become a popular dish across West Africa, even outside West Africa such as in Cameroon and France.

Variants of the dish appear in the cuisine of nations throughout West Africa and Central Africa. It is very similar to groundnut soup. It may have a thicker consistency. Made from lambbeefchicken, or without meat, maafe is cooked with a sauce based on groundnuts, especially peanut butter/paste, and tomatoes.[7] Peanut paste is sometimes used as an ingredient.[8][1][9] In Ghana, groundnut stew is often accompanied with fufu.[9]
