Courgettes with peanuts

(Zucchini with peanuts)

In order to make zucchini and squash stew, cubed zucchini and onions are fried with spices, then combined with water to make a broth. When the zucchini becomes tender, salt, sugar, and coarsely chopped peanuts are added for extra flavor. This hearty, simple, energy-packed stew is full of big, bold flavors, and is typically served piping hot. The vast majority of Chad’s population depends on agriculture, so Chadian cuisine is commonly quite filling, combining grains such as millet and rice, and vegetables such as cassava.


When meat does make an appearance, it is usually in the form of chicken, goat, fish, or beef.
