How it tastes
Nutty peanut butter, sweet sweet potato, smoked paprika and a sambal kick, with fresh coriander and ginger.
Beef maafe

West African stew with tender strips of beef, sweet potato, aubergine and pepper in a creamy, mildly spicy peanut and tomato sauce. Served with jasmine rice and topped with peanuts, red chilli and fresh coriander.
Method
Rice
Rinse the rice in a sieve under cold running water and drain well. Bring the water and salt to the boil, add the rice, cover and leave to swell over a low heat for approx. 12 mins without lifting the lid. Remove the pan from the hob, leave the rice to rest for approx. 5 mins, then fluff up with a fork.
Maafe sauce
Heat the oil in a pan. Sweat the onion, garlic and ginger for approx. 3 mins. Add the cumin, coriander seeds and paprika and sweat for approx. 1 min. Briefly sweat the tomato purée as well. Add the chopped tomatoes and all the remaining ingredients up to and including the sugar, bring to the boil and simmer over a low heat for approx. 10 mins. Blend the sauce until smooth with a hand blender and season.
Sweet potato
Cook the sweet potato cubes in salted water for approx. 5 mins until just tender, then drain.
Meat
Season the meat and dust with cornflour. Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Fry the meat in batches for approx. 2 mins until browned all over, then remove.
Vegetables and maafe
Reduce the heat. Fry the peppers and aubergine in the same pan for approx. 5 mins, then pour in the water. Add the sauce, sweet potato and meat, bring to the boil once, simmer for approx. 2 mins and season.
To serve
Serve the maafe with the rice and scatter over the chilli, peanuts and coriander.
