- 3 cups groundnuts (peanuts)
- 1/2 cup crayfish (ground)
- 1 habanero pepper
- 2 seasoning cubes (Maggi) or 1 large Maggi crevette
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups water
- 1 cup dried fish (optional) (I used dried anchovies)
- Place groundnuts in a wide frying pan or pot and roast on medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring all the time. The groundnuts should turn brown - be careful not to let them burn.
- When groundnuts are fully roasted, place them on a tray to let them cool completely - for about 30 minutes.
- Blend together habanero pepper with about 2 tablespoons of water.
- Grind groundnuts using the small cup of your blender or a coffee grinder. Mix the ground groundnuts with about 1 cup and a half of water to make a paste.
- Place 1 cup of water, crayfish and dried fish in a pot. Bring to a boil. When water boils, add salt, Maggi, blended habanero pepper, and groundnut paste. Mix well then add remaining half cup of water.
- Bring the groundnut mixture to a boil, stirring all the time. Let it cook until the natural oil from the groundnuts starts to show up and the mixture is considerably thick.
- Enjoy with any starchy side you like: bobolo/miondo (Cameroonian food made ut of cassava tubers), plantains, yams, potatoes or even bread!
