1 Step 1: In a stew pot, braise the goat meat over low-medium heat with the onions, bouillon, and salt for 30-35 minutes. If you are cooking goat meat from an older or male goat, you may need to cook the meat for longer for it to be tender.2 Step 2: Next, toast the peanuts in a pan, stirring continuously over low heat, till the nuts turn toasty in color. It should take about 15-25 minutes depending on how hot the pan is.3 Step 3: Allow the nuts to cool completely before grinding.4 Step 4: In a blender, food processor, mortar and pestle, grind the peanuts into a rough powder. Be mindful not to blend into a butter (it really doesn't hurt if blended to a butter, this is just how I learned to do it).5 Step 5: Mix the braising liquid from braising the goat meat and water (should make up about 3 cups of liquid) with the ground peanuts and scotch bonnet peppers in a pot making sure there are no peanut lumps. Bring this mixture to a gentle boil over low-medium heat for about 10 minutes, mixing continuously to prevent burning.6 Step 6: At this stage, you may add more or less water depending on the consistency you prepare. If you prefer a lighter soup, add more water. If you prefer a thicker soup add no more water. Note that as the stew continues to cook, it usually thickens up. It also thickens a little more once it cools down.7 Step 7: After 10 minutes, add in the palm oil, braised meat, crayfish, and cook for another 5 minutes.8 Step 8: Add in the chopped spinach and simmer for 5 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.9 Step 9: Take the stew off the heat and serve.getsaucepan.com/r/a64670e4-ef80-490c-a6fb-8760712569d8 · Original: https://www.yummymedley.com/nigerian-groundnut-stew/
