What is Tigadegue-na?

Tigadegue-na is a comforting peanut and okra stew rooted in the food traditions of Mali. At Taste Africa, it is also part of a family story: the recipe is inspired by the meals founder Tiemoko Diarra grew up enjoying and the cooking traditions passed down through generations.

What is Tigadegue-na?

Peanuts form the rich, savory base of Tigadegue-na. Taste Africa’s version brings that peanut sauce together with okra, vegetables, tender beef, and steamed rice for a deeply satisfying meal.

Each Taste Africa Tigadegue-na meal is 12 oz (340 g), thoughtfully prepared in California and frozen for convenience. It is designed for the days when you want the warmth and flavor of a home-style West African meal without starting from scratch.

How is it served?

Across West Africa, peanut stews can be enjoyed with different accompaniments. Taste Africa serves Tigadegue-na with steamed rice, giving you the stew and rice together in one convenient frozen meal.

A family recipe brought forward

For Taste Africa, Tigadegue-na is more than a product. Its roots reach back to Tiemoko’s memories of peanut stews prepared by his great-grandmother in Mali. Taste Africa brings that tradition forward in a format made for today’s busy households while keeping the focus on the rich, comforting flavors that inspired the company.
