Peanuts are an integral part of West Africa. They are grown in many households mainly for consumption and to increase economic development. June of every year marks the beginning of peanut harvest season in Cameroon. After harvesting, we boil some and eat with roasted corn, shell some and dry out before frying. After which the fried peanuts are ground to a paste and used in peanut stew or groundnut stew as we call it. This paste is the hero ingredient in my Peanut butter marinade.

I constantly try out different marinades in which I could soak meat, fish or chicken before cooking. Using peanuts as the base combined with other ingredients was definitely 5-star and turned out so good.

Though i prefer making peanut butter from scratch, store bought peanut butter can be used in this recipe.

  Seasoning powder is any flavour enhancer. I normally use seasoning from the brand Knorr but you can use any all purpose seasoning you have available.

Still not sure what seasoning powder is. Do you mean an herb blend? "Powder" to me means garlic powder or chili powder, a true "powder."

  It is any bouillon powder or granulated bouillon cube of your choice. I hope this is clear enough. If not, I can attach pictures
