🍲 Daraba
Daraba is a hearty vegetable-and-peanut stew, typically made with:
- Okra
- Tomatoes
- Leafy greens
- Ground peanuts
- Sometimes meat or dried fish
It’s commonly served with millet or sorghum porridge, or with rice. Daraba reflects Chad’s 🇹🇩 Sahelian food traditions, where simple, nourishing ingredients are adapted to a hot, arid climate.
