In Nigeria, it is called Groundnut Stew and is usually eaten with fufu or rice.

For a low-carb option, I serve my Mafe with cauliflower rice. This peanut stew is gluten-free, keto-friendly, and dairy-free.

It has so many complex and bold flavors that will leave you wanting more. And I make mine in just one pot so there is less clean-up!

There are different variations when making Mafe, and it is so easy to make the dish your own.
