Instructions

1. 1 Rinse Bambara groundnuts and soak overnight or for at least six hours in cold water.
2. 2 Drain soaked nuts, place in a pot, and cover with fresh water by about five centimetres.
3. 3 Add salt, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for forty-five minutes to one hour.
4. 4 Test doneness by pressing a nut between fingers; it should be soft and creamy inside.
5. 5 Drain and serve in their shells while still warm. Guests crack them open and eat the soft interior.
6. 6 Alternatively, shell the cooked nuts and mash into a thick relish seasoned with salt for serving with sadza.
