Critical Success Points

  • Blend the soaked peanuts into a smooth paste (step 3).
  • Cook the meat until tender (step 4).
  • Gradually incorporate the ndolé leaves to prevent them from becoming too soft (step 7).

Safety Warnings

  • Handle raw meat with separate utensils to avoid cross‑contamination.
  • Be careful of hot oil splatters when cooking the meat.
