Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Peel the cassava root and cut it into 2-inch pieces. Place the cassava in a large pot and add enough water to cover it. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the cassava is tender when pierced with a fork.
2
While the cassava is cooking, roast the peanuts in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove the peanuts from the oven and let them cool.
3
In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted peanuts, onion, garlic, ginger, and scotch bonnet peppers. Blend until smooth, adding a little water if necessary.
4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the peanut sauce and stir constantly for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce is heated through and fragrant.
