Treat your ingredients with care...
- Yams — Make sure to peel and cube the yams before adding them to the stew. This will ensure they cook evenly and become tender.
- Peanuts — If you prefer a smoother texture, you can grind the peanuts into a paste before adding them to the stew. This will also enhance the nutty flavor.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra kick of heat, add a chopped chili pepper to the stew.
- If you prefer a thicker stew, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a little water and add it to the pot during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
- Feel free to adjust the spices according to your taste preferences. Add more paprika for a smokier flavor or increase the chili powder for a spicier kick.
Serving advice
Malian Gulyás is best served hot, allowing the flavors to fully develop. Serve it with steamed rice or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. Garnish with fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness.
Presentation advice
To make the dish visually appealing, arrange the beef cubes, yams, and green bell pepper evenly in the bowl. Drizzle some of the flavorful sauce over the top and garnish with a sprig of fresh cilantro. Serve it in colorful ceramic bowls to enhance the presentation.
