Being from Senegal, I would have to say that this recipe is completely wrong. It doesn't look at all like how it is supposed to. First off, you put oil in the pot, let it heat for a while and then put the meat( Beef or lamb, never chicken in it. Keep on stirring until the meat turns golden brown and then put tomatoe paste in. Now that the tomatow paste is in u can add about a teaspoon of garlic n some salt n just keep on stirring until the tomatoe paste breaks apart which we call "dok" in wolof. Now you put water, but remember that the amount of water you put in is going to be the amount of sauce you get. You can now add the bouillon cubes for flavoring, garlic, pepper,vinegar and about any spice u want to put in it, chilli suace whatever floats ur boat, nothing out of the ordinary like nutmeg or something !. You can start by cutting one small onion and putting it in the broth, and then cut some carotts, potatoes and yucka and dump it right in. Taste the broth and spice it to your desired taste. After the veggies are done cooking, then you can take some peanut butter and put it in the broth,depending on the amount of sauce you're making, if it's for 2 people, I would put 3 spoonfulls. Make sure that you stir it and that the veggies dont break apart. Now close it and put the heat to medium, when you come back in 10 mins, you will see a small layer of oil on top, it just means that the peanut butter is cooked. MAke some white rice and serve it while it's hot !
