African Peanut Stew w/ Ginger Essential Oil

A year ago around this time, I was in Tallahassee, Florida doing the cooking show, Stirrin' It Up with Chef Beee at a wonderful restaurant called, Nefertari's with a brother by the name of Baba Kamau. We made Nigerian Peanut Stew together and it was just incredible. He said that sometimes they call it African Peanut Stew. I like that name, so I decided to go with it. 

As you may know, I will be heading to Ghana, West Africa this upcoming week and wanted to share this recipe as I begin to prepare for the trip. This recipe, African Peanut Stew, was updated a bit to include an essential oil. I add a few drops of Ginger Essential Oil to this one pot dish and it really makes the dish taste even more amazing. This is my recipe offering to you this week. Check out the newsletter for other events coming up and I hope that you enjoy. See you in Ghana!
