What each ingredient does

Chibwabwa
Forms the bulk of the dish and softens as it boils.
Groundnuts
Paste thickens the dish and adds body and a rich, nutty flavour.

The step that matters

Cook together until the nuts are cooked. Raw groundnuts taste bland and grainy. Their starch thickens the dish and their flavour develops only when they are cooked through, so they need to be fully cooked with the chibwabwa before serving.
