Chef Pierre shines a light on native ingredients in this nourishing West African stew, known as 'ndambe' in Senegal. Black-eyed peas, sweet potatoes, and okra simmer in a rich tomato base, teeming with spices like cumin and smoked paprika. A traditional parsley and garlic sauce is served on the side, adding an herbaceous drizzle to this hearty dish.
