Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 cloves garlic
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
Kosher salt
2 carrots
2 ribs celery
1/2 cup tomato paste
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
1 cup chopped tomatoes, canned or fresh
1 large white sweet potato
2 quarts chicken stock
1/2 cup raw unsalted cashews
2 Macintosh apples, leave the peel on

Steps:

  • Mince the garlic and dice the onion. Heat grapeseed oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add garlic and sauté until light brown, 1-2 minutes. Add onions and a pinch of salt. Stir and sweat the onions, 3-4 minutes.
  • Peel and chop the carrots; chop the celery. Stir in the celery, carrots, and tomato paste. Let the tomato paste brown in the pan a few minutes. Stir in cumin and coriander, followed by thyme and chopped tomatoes. Reduce heat to low and cook 5 minutes; meanwhile, peel and dice the sweet potato. Stir in the sweet potato, and cook 5 more minutes.
  • Purée chicken stock and cashews in a blender. Add to the vegetables and stir. Increase heat to medium-high and bring stew to a simmer. Cook uncovered until liquid is reduced by half, 35-40 minutes.
  • When stew is reduced, core and dice the apples and stir them in. Ladle into bowls and serve hot.

This stew was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I think it needed more spices. I would probably try a different recipe next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my stew turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor. I'm disappointed because I was really looking forward to trying this dish.

This stew was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The sweet potatoes and cashews were cooked perfectly, and the sauce was very flavorful. I would make it again, but I would use less chili next time.

I'm not usually a fan of sweet potato stews, but this one is amazing! The coconut milk and spices give it a really unique and delicious flavor. I also love the addition of cashews. They add a nice nutty flavor and texture.
