What is Gnougou-na?

Gnougou-na is Taste Africa’s peanut butter spinach stew: a rich, savory West African comfort food served with tender beef, vegetables, and steamed rice.

What is Gnougou-na?

Taste Africa’s Gnougou-na combines a peanut-based stew with spinach, vegetables, and beef. The result is a comforting meal with the depth and richness associated with West African peanut stews.

Each Taste Africa Gnougou-na meal is 12 oz (340 g), thoughtfully prepared in California and frozen for convenience. The meal includes steamed rice, so it is ready to serve as a complete combination of stew and rice.

West African comfort, made convenient

Taste Africa was created to share the flavors founder Tiemoko Diarra grew up with in Mali. Gnougou-na reflects that approach: recipes rooted in family and tradition, prepared in a convenient format for people who may not have the time to cook a West African stew from scratch.

From our family recipes to your table

Peanut stews hold a special place in Taste Africa’s story. The company draws inspiration from Tiemoko’s memories of the meals prepared by his great-grandmother and the food traditions that remained part of his life long after leaving Mali.
