Senegalese sweet potato, rice and beans stew image

In the early 1990's, a housemate of mine went to Goree Island in Senegal, and came back with this recipe and a husband :-) This is a hearty, tasty stew of yams, black-eyed peas, and rice. I like to serve it on New Years Day. Use more or less hot pepper depending on your preference.

This stew was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.
