Ndambe (pronounced NAM-bay), a stew of black-eyed peas, tomatoes and onion, is found throughout Senegal, often with bits of lamb or beef added. We speed cooking time by using canned black-eyed peas in place of dried, making it an option for a weeknight dinner. Serve with rice or fonio, or do as they do in Senegal—mashed slightly and spread over a split baguette.

Tip

Don't use neutral-flavored oil in place of the coconut oil. Coconut oil, particularly unrefined coconut oil, infuses the stew with a sweet aroma and distinctive flavor.
