Ok, here’s one that is not super simple, but definitely easy if you follow the directions, and it is one of my absolute favorite recipes. Lots of the ingredients are fall/winter vegetables (sweet potato, kale, apples) and it is a delicious treat for a cold day.
AFRICAN PEANUT STEW
1 t canola oil
1 large onion
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp grated ginger
¼ tsp cayenne (½ tsp if you like really spicy)
1 large sweet potato cut into 1 inch cubes (don’t bother peeling it)
½ of a green cabbage, chopped
3 cups tomato juice
1 apple, peeled and chopped
1 large tomato, diced
1 bunch chopped kale or collards (I prefer Kale)
3 tablespoons peanut butter
heat oil, add onions, sautee 10 min. stir in garlic,
ginger, cayenne. Saute a few more min. Add sweet
potato, cabbage, sautee covered a few more min. Add
tomato juice, apple, tomato. cover, simmer 15 min
until sweet potatoes are tender. Add kale, cook 5 min
till bright green. Stir in peanut butter, simmer
gently 5 min. add water or tomato juice if stew is too
thick.
DELICIOUS!
(this recipe takes about an hour start to finish, but
lots of the time is unattended).
Also, it tastes even better the next day.
