African Stews

African stews are the heart and soul of so many meals I grew up eating, and they are still the recipes I reach for when I want something deeply comforting. Thick, deeply seasoned, and made with so much love. I have taken all of those flavors and made them totally keto-friendly, and honestly? They taste just as good as you remember. The right stew can make the whole house smell incredible, and that is exactly what these recipes do. You are going to want to make these on repeat.

You will love recipes like Efo Riro, Mafe (Senegalese Peanut Stew), Nigerian Chicken Stew, Nigerian Beef Stew, and African Goat Stew. Bold, spicy, and full of the flavors you love.
