Sweet Potato Peanut Stew (Gluten-free, Dairy-free)
- 3 sweet potatoes, chopped into small cubes
- 1 onion
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup red lentils
- 1 tbsp curry powder
- 4 tbsp peanut butter
- paprika or cayenne pepper (optional- I like to add to this individually to bowls for those who like it spicy)
- cilantro (optional as a garnish)
- crushed peanuts (optional as a garnish)
1. In a large soup pot, saute onions in oil for 5-10 minutes.
2. Add broth, garlic, and ginger and bring pot to a boil.
3. Add sweet potatoes, lentils and curry powder and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for approx. 25-30 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender.
4. Add peanut butter and mix well.
5. Blend stew with an immersion blender or transfer to a food processor. (For a chunkier stew, omit this step).
6. Garnish with chopped cilantro, peanuts, and paprika or cayenne if desired.
