Mali Mafé & Black Eyed Peas

Originally made with ground nuts, Mafé is a soulful West African stew that has its roots in Mali and has since blossomed in Senegal and Gambia. Celebrated for its creamy, nutty flavor and hearty depth, Mafé offers a comfort, vibrance and warmth. Laroot’s version fuses immuno-supportive spices and herbs with French tomato, carrot, and cabbage. Its nutty creaminess derives from sunflower-seed butter—nonallergenic, and high in protein and omega-3s—instead of peanut. An herbaceous side of black-eyed peas seasoned with bay leaf, parsley, chive, cilantro, and shallot boosts the meal’s protein, vitamin, and antioxidant content.
