Recipe: Kunde

In Kenya this eponymous stew is a popular way to cook kunde, Swahili for black-eyed peas. Served over rice, it makes often makes a full meal. Make kunde for yourself with this recipe:
  • Oil -- 2 tablespoons
  • Onion, minced -- 1
  • Tomatoes, seeded and diced -- 2 cups
  • Black-eyed peas, cooked -- 2 cups
  • Natural peanut butter -- 1/4 cup
  • Water -- 1/4 cup
  • Salt and pepper -- to taste
Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium flame. Add the onion and sauté until translucent. Add the tomatoes and simmer about 5 minutes to cook them down. Stir in the remaining ingredients and lightly mash the peas with the back of a spoon. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more water as needed to get a stew-like consistency. Adjust seasoning and serve over rice.
