Peanut Stew

Who doesn’t love the combination of sweet potatoes and peanuts? This is simple to make and popular with both adults and kids alike (just reduce the hot pepper flakes for the kiddos). Packed with protein and satiating starches and super healthy greens, you might want to double the recipe as it makes for a yummy bowl of leftovers the following day.Heat a large pot over medium heat. Once warm add your oil (or saute in water if that’s your preference). Saute the onions for about 5 minutes until translucent. Add your pressed garlic and grated ginger and stir to combine. Next add your ground cumin, coriander, salt and red pepper flakes. Stir. Add your chopped tomatoes and allow a couple of minutes for the excess water to evaporate. Toss in your cubed sweet potatoes and mix again. Add your vegetable broth and allow the sweet potatoes to simmer for about 12 minutes until they are fork tender. Turn off the heat and stir in the peanut butter. Once well incorporated mix in the chopped spinach and cilantro and allow a few minutes for the greens to wilt. Taste for seasoning and add more salt and pepper as needed and red pepper flakes. Serve with rice or your grain of choice. Garnish with additional cilantro, chopped peanuts and red pepper flakes.
