  2. If you’re using fresh groundnut, peel the skin and lightly toast on a pan over medium heat. When toasting, watch the peanut you don't want to burn it, if you have any burnt nut pick them out.

  4. Depending on the protein you’re using clean and set aside, in this case, I used dried fish and stockfish. The stockfish was soaked in a bowl of hot water and salt overnight. The dried fish was soaked in a bowl of hot water and salt for a few minutes and removed.

  5. The stockfish was still hard, so it was cooked further. Add the stockfish to a pot seasoning with small sliced onion, garlic, seasoning bouillon powder, and salt then add about half a cup of water and bring to a boil.
