Peanut Stew Recipe

Currently, our pantry is well-stocked with peanut butter. Here is a creative and delicious use for peanut butter and sweet potatoes this fall.

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 bell pepper, seeds removed and roughly chopped
• 2 large garlic cloves, grated or minced
• 1/2 inch fresh ginger, peeled and grated (optional)
• ½ tbsp ground cumin
• 3 heaping tbsp smooth or crunchy peanut butter
• 2-1/4 cups of vegetable or chicken stock/broth
• 1 can of diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
• 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-size pieces
• salt and black pepper

Directions

1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat, then add the onion and pepper, stirring regularly until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the garlic, ginger and spices and stir continuously until aromatic, about 20 seconds.
3. Add the peanut butter, stock and tomatoes, then add the sweet potato. Cook with the lid on for about 25 minutes or until the sweet potato is cooked through.
