Welcome viewers and introduce the dish, mafe, a traditional peanut stew from West Africa.
Mention that the recipe can vary based on available ingredients and personal preferences.
Prepare the base seasoning by blending green onion, peppers, tomatoes, onion, garlic, and carrot until finely chopped.
Add sunflower seed oil to a pot and heat it up.
Incorporate tomato paste into the pot with the oil.
Add the blended seasoning base to the pot and mix well, noting the aroma.
Add peanut butter to the mixture, ensuring to use a thicker variety and not creamy peanut butter.
Add a little water to help mix the peanut butter into the sauce, stirring to combine.
Cut potatoes and carrots into medium-sized chunks for even cooking and add them to the pot.
Stir the mixture regularly, watching for bubbling and frothing as it cooks down.
Season the stew with bay leaves and salt, while rice is cooking in a rice cooker.
Add the cut vegetables to the pot and stir them in, covering the pot semi to let it simmer.
Continue to monitor the stew as it bubbles and thickens, being cautious of splatters.
Add red chili flakes, black pepper, and powdered ginger to taste, adjusting based on preference.
Check the consistency of the mafe; it should be thick and ready to serve when darkened in color.
Prepare a serving dish with a bed of white rice, fluffing it up before serving.
Serve the mafe on top of the rice, ensuring to include soft vegetables, and explain communal eating practices.
