Ingredients

  • peanuts
    roasted, shelled, skinned, and mashed (or simply use Peanut butter)
    1 cup
  • 2 cups
  • 1/2 teaspoon
  • Cayenne or 1 whole piment
    1/4 teaspoon
  • 2 tablespoons
  • 2 tablespoons

Method

1
Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, then add the minced onion and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
2
Add the mashed peanuts (or peanut butter) to the pan and stir continuously to combine with the oil and onion, breaking up any clumps.
2 minutes
3
Gradually add the water, a little at a time, stirring constantly to avoid lumps and create a smooth, uniform sauce.
4
Add the salt and cayenne pepper (or whole piment), stirring well to distribute the spices throughout the sauce.
5
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning on the bottom of the pan.
10 minutes

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or cayenne if needed, then remove from heat when the sauce reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
