I had an African Stew in Houston Texas..help!?

Question

It was like 8 years ago, I don't know the restaurant name or anything, a little hole in the wall place took me and my friends in white on vacation and fed us a great red SPICEY stew with dark meat...maybe beef, over rice they served plantains on the side. All I can remember about the meal is how good, and spicey it was, the sauce was a deep red...not as deep as mole but close! Any help or recipes would be appreciated!

No potatoes, what causes red sauce, plantains not in stew, and the number you gave be in disconnected, but I honestly appreciate the try!

Answer 1

I know exactly what you are talking about. I just don't know the name of it. My boyfriend in Nigerian and they eat it all of the time. There is a resteraunt in town smack dab in the middle of the African district . It is called Finger Lickin on Bisonnet street. I do not have the number but they are listed. Give them a call and I am sure they can help. If not call my friends resteraunt it is called Suya Hit on West Airport ( I do not have that number either) but they have a website...www.suyahut.com i think) ask them they could tell you. Hope this helps.
