Peanut Sauce over Rice (Benin) image

I used this recipe for week 29 of my food blog, "Travel by Stove." I am attempting to cook on meal from every nation on Earth, and Benin is my 29th stop. Please note that I never use any recipe for my blog that I'm not reasonably sure is from authentic or traditional sources, and this recipe has been posted without any alternations or additions to the ingredients. This simple sauce is served over boiled white rice.

RED SAUCE FROM BENIN



Red Sauce from Benin image

This is a traditional Beninese recipe for a classic sauce(or stew) of onions, garlic and tomatoes flavored with a bouillon cube and hot chilli peppers, which is typically served with rice. I have made a few changes to make it vegetarian. I use this to cook my sesame balls in, served over coconut rice for a nice authentic Beninese meal. Adapted from Celtnet. The original recipe uses Scotch bonnet peppers, yikes! Too hot for me.

Categories     Sauces

Time 45m

Yield 7 cups, about

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tablespoons oil (vegetable or peanut-I use olive)
2 large onions, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
12 ripe tomatoes, crushed (or 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes)
3 hot chili peppers, chopped (I use jalapenos or Anaheim peppers for less heat)
3 1/8 cups water (or vegetable stock)
1 vegetable bouillon cube (leave out if using vegetable stock)
black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a pan, add the onions and fry for a minute then add the tomatoes, garlic and chillies. Fry for 5 minutes then pour over water and add the vegetable boullion cube(or use veg. stock). Cover and allow to boil for about 20 minutes until all the ingredients have blended together and the tomatoes have broken down. Season with black pepper and serve.
  • In addition to the basic sauce given above you can also add 3 more Scotch Bonnet chillies to make it hotter. You can also add 500g cubed meat or 4 whole fish cut into steaks.
