LAMB STEWED IN PEANUT SAUCE



Lamb Stewed in Peanut Sauce image

This recipe is popular in the African country of Benin. The recipe calls for shrimp powder but, if you can't find that, a little fish sauce or anchovy paste would make a decent substitute. You could also just leave it out and use a bit more salt for seasoning. Serve with steamed rice.
