Tempeh Mafe

I made this last week (or maybe the week before?? I'm getting bad at updating).  Mafe is an African peanut stew typically made with meat, naturally, but in this version the protein is baked tempeh, which really goes well with the peanut flavor.

The recipe is from Vegan Soul Kitchen and I felt like it was a touch fussier than it needed to be - the tempeh  had to be baked in marinade first, but as it was then just dumped into the stew, I think I will probably just steam it a little bit first the next time I make this dish.


What really makes it are the roasted seasoned peanuts ("Spicy Goobers", also from Vegan Soul Kitchen).  We still have a bunch of those in the fridge and they are great for a little snack.
