Adventurer’s Notes
Dragon’s Tip
Unsweetened peanut butter gives the cleanest flavour. Add extra stock if the stew thickens more than you like.
🥜 Groundnut Keeper’s Tip
Use smooth peanut butter for a silky sauce or crunchy peanut butter when you want a little extra texture.
🌶️ Ember Coast Heat
Add fresh chilli with the ginger or serve chilli oil at the table so each adventurer can choose their own level of fire.
🥬 Garden Expansion
Kale, spinach or chopped cabbage can be stirred in near the end until just tender.
⏳ Cauldron Supper
The stew thickens as it rests; loosen leftovers with a splash of stock or water while reheating.
Lore of the Hoard
Ember Coast caravans carry groundnuts, dried spices and sturdy vegetables between distant firelit ports. Their cooks turn those humble stores into a golden-red stew generous enough to welcome any traveller to the circle.
