Mafe is a hearty West African peanut stew that simmered meat and vegetables in a rich, savory sauce made from peanuts, tomatoes, onions, and spices. Commonly associated with Senegal, Gambia, and parts of Mali, it blends bold flavors—nutty, tangy, and slightly sweet—while accommodating variations with chicken, beef, lamb, or vegetables for a robust, comforting meal. It’s typically served over rice or couscous, inviting cozy, communal dining and a sense of regional culinary identity.
