Ingredient appreciation — what makes Groundnut Soup special

What sets Groundnut Soup apart is the handling of palm nut. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the nutty and palm-rich result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

the debate over Ghanaian versus Nigerian jollof rice is a celebrated West African rivalry. The a family Sunday fufu meal atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had Club Beer as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Groundnut Soup is the place to start.
