Peanut Stew

2T oil
1 medium onion - chopped
1 large leek (I just use green or regular onions)- sliced thin
2 garlic cloves – minced
1t. ginger – grated

Sauté for 5 minutes, add

2t. ground cumin
2t. ground coriander

Sauté for 1 minute, add

2 medium sweet potatoes - diced
1 carrot – diced
2 green chilies – deseeded & minced

Cook for 5 minutes, add

1 1/2t. salt
2 c. vegetable broth (I use water)
1 can pineapple chunks – in juice, not syrup – drained
1 green pepper, diced

Boil for 8-10 minutes – until veggies are soft.

½ c. smooth peanut butter

Take some of the hot broth and mix it into the peanut butter, then
stir the slurry into the stew.  Simmer for 5 minutes.

Garnish with:
Peanuts
Cilantro

I add the peanuts and the cilantro to the stew –AND- pass some around.

ALSO- I just crush peanuts in the food processor for the peanut butter as I do not like all the stuff that is in store-bought. I get the peanuts at Trader Joe’s.
