Ingredients

• 2 cups thiéré (millet couscous)
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1/4 cup tomato paste
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

• 2 cups mixed vegetables (carrots, cabbage, turnips), chopped

2. Add meat and brown on all sides.
3. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes.
4. Add water, peanut butter, and scotch bonnet pepper (if using). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Tips

• For a vegetarian version, omit meat and add more vegetables or chickpeas.
• Thiéré can be found in African grocery stores; substitute with fine couscous if unavailable.
