The seeds are boiled for several hours, stripped of their hulls, then left to ferment for two to four days: they turn brown and develop a strong smell and a marked umami taste, close to a full-bodied stock. The fermented product is then dried and, here, ground into powder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaking soumbara is an ancient practice, carried out largely by women in the villages of the Sudano-Sahelian zone, and selling it remains a source of income for the women who produce it.

Depending on the country and the language, the same condiment is called nététou in Senegal (Wolof) and the Gambia, soumbala or soumbara in Mali, Burkina Faso, Guinea and Côte d'Ivoire, dawadawa among the Hausa of Nigeria and Ghana, iru among the Yoruba, afitin in Benin. Some restaurateurs in France nickname it “African mustard”, for its strength in cooking, although it has nothing to do with mustard seed.

The pastes sold for African cooking, such as BONMAFÉ or DAKATINE, contain about 97.5% roasted peanuts, a little salt and sometimes a vegetable oil or an emulsifier, but no added sugar: they are designed for savoury sauces, not for sweet spreads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePeanut paste or peanut butter: what is the difference?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn food composition tables, “peanut butter” and “peanut paste” refer to the same family of products: ground roasted peanuts. The difference lies in the recipe. The most common peanut butter, North American in inspiration, often adds sugar, salt and sometimes oils or stabilisers for a smooth texture and a mild taste suited to spreading. African-style peanut paste has a short ingredient list, with no added sugar, and a more pronounced roasted peanut taste: it is stirred into a sauce, even if nothing stops you from spreading it on bread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMafé, the peanut paste dish\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMafé originated among the Mandinka and Bambara peoples of Mali. The name is thought to come from the Wolof “maafe”, which refers to a stew or a peanut sauce; in Mali, the dish is also called “tiga dèguè na”, peanut paste sauce, in Bambara. Before the arrival of the peanut, introduced to Senegal in the sixteenth century by Portuguese traders, Malian cooks thickened their sauces with the Bambara pea. The development of peanut farming in the nineteenth century made mafé a dish for sharing, found in Senegal, the Gambia, Guinea, Côte d'Ivoire and Burkina Faso, each one adding its own vegetables and meat: a large pot, meat or fish simmered in peanut sauce, root vegetables, and white rice to serve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use peanut paste for mafé?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStir the jar well: the oil can rise to the surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThin the paste with a little stock or lukewarm water, bit by bit, to avoid lumps.
