Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery; cook until fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in peanuts, sesame seeds, bay leaf, and salt, stirring often until vegetables are tender and seeds and peanuts have toasted; add attieke, stirring constantly. Pour water over entire skillet, distributing evenly.
Step 2
Cover skillet; reduce heat to medium. Steam attieke until it is moist and heated all the way through, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Uncover skillet; fold attieke with a spatula. Top with cilantro.
