african peanut stew

METHOD

Preparation

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and ginger; cook for 2–3 minutes until softened.

2. Add sweet potato, cumin, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes.

3. Stir in tomato paste, fire-roasted tomatoes with their juices, peanut butter, and vegetable broth until combined.

4. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15–20 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are very tender.

5. Add the collard greens or kale and simmer for another 5 minutes.

6. Mash some sweet potato against the pot to thicken, or pulse with an immersion blender.

7. Remove from the heat, stir in apple cider vinegar, and season with salt, pepper, or extra red pepper flakes. Add your preferred toppings.
