Waiting for a cook

Caril de Amendoim

Mozambique

What we know so far

Caril de amendoim is one of Mozambique's defining stews. Caril means any stew in Mozambican Portuguese, and no Indian curry powder goes in it. Raw peanuts are pounded in a pestle, soaked in cold water and strained to make a peanut milk, which is boiled and then thickened with the meat, onion, tomato and garlic until it is a thick, pale, nutty sauce, stirred without stopping. Chicken is the everyday version; dried shrimp is the most loved; beef and crab are also used, and coastal cooks add grated or fresh coconut. Eaten with rice or xima.
