African Vegetable Stew image

This is a different kind of stew as the cinnamon is the promident smell as it is cooking, but blends in with the other spices and flavors creating a nicely flavored vegetable stew.

This stew was a disappointment. The flavors were bland and the vegetables were overcooked.

I'm not a big fan of stews, but this one was actually pretty good. The flavors were well-balanced and the vegetables were cooked perfectly.

This stew was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chili pepper.

This stew was absolutely delicious! The flavors were rich and complex, and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. I especially loved the addition of peanut butter, which gave the stew a creamy and nutty flavor.
