West African Pot Roast Food

WEST AFRICAN BEEF KABOBS

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor, grate the onion until it's finely chopped. Add the peanut butter, tomato paste, olive oil, all spice, salt, crushed red pepper and powdered ginger. Continue to blend until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
• Transfer the sauce from the blender to a large bowl. Add the beef to the sauce and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes to allow the beef to marinade.
• When ready to grill, thread the beef onto wooden or metal skewers. Pour any leftover marinade on top of the beef kabobs.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, and grease the grill with cooking spray.
• Cook on the preheated grill, flipping once, until meat is browned, about 10-15 minutes.

WEST AFRICAN POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a dutch oven or deep casserole that can be placed on the stove burner.
• Salt and pepper the beef to your taste.
• Brown the beef with the onions until well browned on all sides. Remove the beef and onions and drain on paper towels. Drain the oil from the pan, then return the roast and onions.
• In a small microwaveable bowl, mix together the peanut butter, tomato paste, and water. Microwave on HIGH for about 1-2 minutes, until barely hot. Stir to make a smooth sauce (don't worry if it isn't completely smooth).
• Pour the peanut butter sauce over the roast in the casserole, then add the seasonings.
• Bake the roast in the oven for approximately 3--3 1/2 hours, or until tender.
• If the sauce lookes oily, skim off the fat, then serve with the sliced roast.

Steps:

• Combine the chickpeas, onion, garlic, raisins, pepper, cinnamon, mace, and turmeric in a pre-soaked 4-quart clay pot.

• Add enough broth or water so the meat and eggs are nearly covered.
• Cover the pot and place in a cold oven.
• Set the oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
• Cook for about 4 hours, until the meat is tender, adding liquid as needed so the eggs are always at least partly submerged.
• To serve, peel and quarter the eggs. Make a bed of chickpeas and yams on each plate and top with slices of beef and pieces of eggs.
