Sweet Potato and Peanut Stew image

This recipe makes me feel good. It's very different. There a number of steps, so you can't just put it on the stove and leave it, but the results make it worthwhile. Can be made with ground turkey or vegetarian, and it's dairy-free.

Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound ground turkey
½ onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 sweet potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
6 cups water, or as needed to cover
2 ¼ cups water
1 (10 ounce) box couscous
½ cup peanut butter
2 cups Swiss chard, cut into 3-inch pieces
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir turkey, onion, and garlic in the hot oil until turkey is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink.
  • Season turkey mixture with ginger and red pepper flakes.
  • Stir sweet potatoes into pot and cover with 6 cups water. Simmer until sweet potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring 2 1/4 cups water to a boil in a saucepan. Remove from the heat and stir in couscous. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork; set aside.
  • Mix peanut butter with about 1 cup liquid from the sweet potato stew in a bowl until smooth. Pour peanut butter mixture back into the pot.
  • Mix Swiss chard into stew and cook until tender, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
  • Serve stew spooned over couscous.

This was a disappointment. The peanut sauce was bland and the sweet potatoes were mushy.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my stew turned out too watery. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I'm not a big fan of sweet potatoes, but this recipe was surprisingly good. The peanut sauce is amazing.

This was a great recipe! I used a blend of sweet potatoes and regular potatoes, and added a can of black beans. It was delicious, and my family loved it.
