For more great Instant Pot recipes, please visit InstantPotEasy.com
Chef JJ Johnson of Fieldtrip in New York City is on a mission to expand the definition of the world’s “mother sauces” to include the West African peanut sauce.
will be going to this restaurant to try this dish
That's not a mother sauce tho
All the mother sauces come from white people countries
I thought I was crazy for not peeling my carrot. Thanks JJ
These remind me of Wuhan hot dry noodles (热干面) except that those use sesame butter instead. Can't wait to try this dish.
In Indonesia we called it "mie pecel"
Now make obe ata sauce 😍
Great recipe but what type of stock are you using?
Made this with my 16 year old Autistic son 🤗 ( we're trying to encourage him to learn more cooking ) the chopping wasn't as good but the eating was !! Thank you from Dorset xx
Looks so delish 😛
Reminds me of my Gambian mother in law’s peanut butter soup. She makes it with either lamb, beef, or chicken with some basmati rice. Its fucking fire.
Him explaining so well got me to like the video. I felt Hella involved
Just me or are the bits of onion and carrot stuck to the sides of the top of the pan really annoying
Too much salt!
The point of mother sauces is that they each teach a technique that you base other sauces on. Unfortunately, this sauce doesn't teach anything not already covered in the French mother sauces. Weirdly enough, this would be considered a variation on tomato sauce even if there wasn't tomatoes. If it's a sauce thickened and largely flavored by fruits and/or vegetables (or anything that's not meat, egg, dairy, or grain), it's considered a variation on tomato sauce. I wouldn't take it personal, the mother sauces are pretty lame on their own and really need variations like this.
As someone who’s lived in Benin, West Africa for the past year+ I can tell you I’ve never even seen celery in the country… carrots are rare and definitely don’t get ground up into a sauce like that. And there is no way a maman here is adding the seeds of a tomato to her sauce. I appreciate his passion for educating on West african cuisine but he’s either misinformed or he’s generalizing a bit too much. (Yes I realize it’s a fusion food anyways)
He’s the real deal, this is woke cooking
African Pad Thai
It actually seems to have a similar flavour profile as Wuhan hot dry noodles which has a mixture of peanut and sesame ( tahini) dressing along with pickled vegetables and chilli.
It seems like creole trinity add peanut butter.
Interesting…
Wow these comments are so ugly. People are just so disrespectful to Africa culture and African people for literally no reason, it’s truly pathetic. Instead of learning and being grateful for the lessons in our culture and history, y’all mock us, try to discredit us, and say rude shit. And for what? Seriously. We didn’t do shit but try and live our lives in peace.
I added ginger roots. Super dope.
BRAVO for having this man on here!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💯🍷🍷🍷Smart Man🤗
Learning all kinds of things from him
And i watch ALOT of food videos🌹
Hes SOOO rite about the Mother Sauces
I think thats one of the first things they teach u in culinary school
I love it .. he says he’s been to Ghana for a few months ., and then he claims to be international !
Still an Uncle Tom tho 🙂
Bro the way he holds his knife is killing me.
The mission you’re on is epic chef!!! Keep pushing.
What kind of broth was that? What should I use any opinions?
Vice officially has a minority complex
Looks like diarrhoea.
Why is there one piece of carrot on the stove
African food looks so gross to me
Throw some smoked fish in that sauce and you got Cambodian food.
Every other ingredient was salt lmao. Hmm little veggie and salt. Little salt with my salt and let's add another pinch of salt. Top if off with some more salt!
I hate munchies
My wife and I run a Cafe in Japan with lots of international dishes and this recipe fits in so well. With one exception, Japanese people as a whole hate cilantro, so we will use "shiso" and see how it goes. Thank you!!!
Is there any research to back up that the stems are spicy? I haven’t found anything
Btw, west African music is amazing
