Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 large garlic clove, minced
2 teaspoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon fresh ginger (peeled and grated)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch dice
14 1/2 ounces crushed tomatoes
1 1/2 cups vegetable stock
salt
15 ounces dark red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup dry-roasted unsalted peanuts (chopped)

Steps:

  • 1. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, cover and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the bell pepper and garlic, cover, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the brown sugar, ginger, cumin, cinnamon and cayenne and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the sweet potatoes and stir to coat. Stir in the tomatoes, stock and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the vegetables are soft, about 30 minutes.
  • 2. About 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time, stir in the kidney beans and simmer until heated through.
  • 3. Place the peanut butter in a small bowl and blend in about 1/4 cup of the broth, stirring until smooth, then stir it into the stew. If a thicker consistency is desired, puree 1 cup of the stew in a blender or food processor and stir back into pot.
  • 4. Taste and adjust seasonings. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and serve.
