Here's the recipe.
African Sweet Potato Stew with Red Beans
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
4 cups (1/2-inch) cubed peeled sweet potato (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/2 cup water
1 tsp grated peeled fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes, drained
1 (4.5 oz) can copped green chilies, drained
1/ 1/2 cups cooked small red beans, drained and rinsed
4 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
3 Tbs. chopped dry-roasted peanuts.
1 lime
Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cover and cook 5 minutes or until tender. Place onion mixture in a 5-quart electric slow cooker. Add sweet potato and next 9 ingredients (through chilies). Cover and cook on LOW 5 hours or until vegetables are tender. Add the red beans in the last hour of cooking. Spoon 1 cup cooking liquid into a small bowl. Add peanut butter; stir well with a whisk. Stir peanut butter mixture into stew. Top with peanuts; serve with lime wedges. This is a recipe that freezes well!
That looks yummy! I've done one batch of cookies and have already fizzled out.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds positively DIVINE! My husband and I both love sweet potatoes. We eat them on a fairly regular basis, but it's always been the same ol' way, baked & buttered.
ReplyDeleteWhile visiting with my daughter & her boyfriend over Thanksgiving week, he made a us a sweet potato soup (yum!). Later that week, my daughter made us the most delicious sweet potato enchiladas. CLEARLY, I've underrated the use of the sweet potato!
OOOOO this looks SO good!
ReplyDeleteIt is so cold here, and windy, that I want to crawl right into this photo & eat this stew.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the recipe.
What a perfect antidote for all those sweets!
ReplyDeleteSounds good for a cold night.
ReplyDeleteHaven't done any baking yet--not much into the baking thing though.
