I came across an African sweet potato stew recipe a few years ago, and adapted it to suit our taste. It is very flavorful and just a bit spicy - just right for cold days! This recipe makes a lot of stew, so it may be halved for a smaller portion, but also freezes very well.

Ingredients

  • 1 onion , chopped
  • 2 small jalapeno peppers , seeded and chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic , minced
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 0.25 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 0.13 teaspoons red pepper flakes
  • 4 cups water
  • 2.5 pounds sweet potatoes , peeled and chopped into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 , 15 ounce
  • 2 , 15 ounce
  • 0.25 cups peanut butter
  • 1 , 15 ounce

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place onion, jalapeno peppers, garlic, ginger, cumin, salt, coriander, cinnamon, and red pepper flakes in a large slow cooker. Pour in water and stir to combine. Mix in sweet potatoes, tomatoes, chickpeas, and peanut butter.

  2. 2

    Set cooker to Medium-High, cover, and cook until sweet potatoes are tender and stew has thickened, about 6 hours. Stir in green beans, cover, and continue cooking until beans are heated through, 15 to 20 minutes.
