Directions
Sub-title: A hearty and satisfying vegetarian stew from West Africa made with sweet potatoes, tomatoes, peanuts, and spices.
Ingredients:
* 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
* 2 medium onions, chopped
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
* 1 green bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
* 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
* 1 cup unsweetened plant milk (such as almond, cashew, or soy milk)
* 1/2 cup unsalted roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
* 1 tsp smoked paprika
* 1 tsp cumin powder
* 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
* Fresh black pepper, to taste
* Optional: 1 avocado, sliced for serving
Instructions:
1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the onion, garlic, and bell peppers and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Stir in the tomatoes, plant milk, sweet potatoes, and seasoning. Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Uncover and stir in the peanuts. Continue cooking until the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, another 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes.
Serving suggestions:
* Serve hot over rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
* Garnish with fresh parsley, cilantro, or lime wedges.
* Top each serving with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of chopped peanuts for added protein and creaminess.
Note: If you prefer a thicker consistency, you may use a handheld immersion blender to puree part of the soup before adding the peanuts. This will help thicken the texture without altering the nutrition facts.
