Default African inspired Spicy Peanut Stew

I can't find my copy of the orginal recipe. It was one an Art History Prof.
collected on his travels in Mali. The orginal called for Chicken, I've
since veaganised the recipe and added my own touches

Spicy Peanut Stew

1 large onion diced

lots of diced garlic

1 tablespoon olive oil

diced fresh spicy peppers of your choice and amount. (if you don't have
fresh peppers see below)


*In a big pot saute the onions and garlic until tranparent. Add

1 qt. vegetable broth or un-chicken broth

2 cups cubed sweet potatoes

2 cups chopped collard greens

salt, black pepper

you can look through your fidge and see what else you have and throw it in.
Green Peppers, califlower,brocolli, celery...
*Let this simmer until vegetables soften.

Add
if you like some chicken-style seitan (my fav is
http://www.lightlife.com/chickstrips.html)
or you can add a can of black eyed peas, or chickpeas. it is your choice.

1/2 cup natural peanut butter. NOT Skippy, Jif, Peter Pan or anyone of those
corn syrup products. That is a rant for another post.

if you didn't use fresh peppers add cayenne pepper


juice of one whole lemon

adjust seasonings to your taste, add more Veg broth if stew is too thick.

Serve over Brown Rice and garnish with chopped peanuts, raisins, dried
banana chips, diced red onion.

Thanks for posting this. I saw your post the other day mentioning African
Peanut Stew and I went to the web to search for a recipe. The one I liked
the most is strikingly similar to what you have posted here. I'm going to
try it soon.

Glad you like it. The basic recipe is Broth, Peanut Butter, spice and
whatever vegetables you want. I never make it the same twice.
I thought I'd posted a variation before but couldn't find it in Google.
