Garden egg stew is a West African palm oil stew built on garden eggs, the small white and green African aubergines that are nothing like the large purple ones sold in most supermarkets. They are firmer, more bitter and hold their shape, and they are eaten across Ghana and Nigeria both cooked and raw. This version is a seafood one, with prawns, shrimp and smoked mackerel, and it departs from the plain garden egg stew in one further respect: a spoonful of peanut butter goes into the ground pepper base. That is not universal but it is a recognised West African move, giving body and a background richness that thickens the stew without flour. What it is served with is the point. The stew is made to go with yam, plantain and cocoyam, all cooked plain, and the contributor is explicit that palm oil is what makes that combination work. Vegetable oil is possible and gives a different, lighter dish. The method also uses an air fryer to char the peppers, tomatoes and onion before grinding, which is a modern substitute for roasting them over an open flame, and it produces the same smokiness. Contains peanut.
