A Taste of Africa: Peanut Stew & Puff Puff Nutty for Puff Puff!
When you think of peanut butter, savory dishes may not be the first thing that comes to mind. In this flavorful cooking experience, we’ll trade in the classic PB&J for a comforting, savory dish that predates peanut production in the United States—African Peanut Stew, also known as groundnut stew.
To sweeten things up, we’ll pair the stew with Puff Puff, a beloved African street food found across several countries and especially popular at parties and celebrations. Light, fluffy, and slightly sweet, Puff Puff has many regional variations you’ll get to know in this class.
In this hands-on session, you will:
Learn how to make Nigerian-style Puff Puff, plus explore popular regional variations
Prepare a simple, approachable version of African Peanut Stew using time-saving hacks
Discuss how the stew is traditionally made, including more complex, from-scratch methods
Taste and enjoy both recipes together
Recipes Being Made:
African Peanut Stew
Nigerian Puff Puff
Date: February 21
Time: 2:00 PM
Cost: $35
Location: Willmar Community Center
Come ready to learn, taste, and experience the rich flavors and traditions of African cuisine—no PB&J required!
