Preparation

1 h 45
  1. Cook the meat with an onion and salt for 1 hour, until it is tender.
  2. Prepare your cassava leaves (pound them if they are fresh).
  3. When the leaves are well pounded, put them in a pot with 2 glasses of water and let cook about 10-15 minutes over low heat, stirring to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  4. When the meat is cooked, put it in the pot containing the cassava leaves.
  5. Loosen the peanut paste with the meat broth (or water) and mix well to obtain a lump-free cream, which you pour into the pot. Mix everything and let cook about 10 minutes.
  6. After 10 minutes, stir and add the palm oil, salt and let cook again for 15 minutes.
  7. Serve hot with boiled cassava.
