    Domodah or Domoda is what the West African soup or stew is called in Gambia.  This flavors of this dish is ubiquitous in West Africa.  It is a peanut sauce that often times is eaten alone or with vegetables like yams, sweet potatoes, squash, eggplant or okra but can also be made with beef or chicken or bush meat.  This is usually served over rice but can also be enjoyed with fou-fou, the starchy side dish usually made from cassava.  In Africa meat is not available to eat at every meal. The flavor of this dish we have learned to love. The combination of the peanut with onions, tomato and a spicy kick is excellent.  Enjoy!  We made this dish vegetarian style adding sweet potato but feel free to add in what you like.
