What is African Peanut Stew?
I'm far from knowledgeable about African cuisine, but this stew is something that came on my radar a couple of decades ago. I can't speak to authenticity of my recipe, but if not authentic, it's at least inspired by something similar. I looked online for more information about this dish. If you want authentic African recipes, this is not the place to find it. I'm simply exploring to the best of my ability, and trying to share healthy flavourful meals that anyone can make. With all that said here is what I found:
My African Peanut Stew Recipe Notes
This delicious stew is aromatic, bright & slightly spicy. Sweet potatoes, chickpeas and tomatoes make up the bulk of the stew which is then flavoured with natural peanut butter, lime juice, cumin, coriander, cinnamon and chili (sambal oelek, a chili paste). I like to garnish my African Peanut Stew with cilantro & chopped toasted peanuts. On the side, rice and or flatbread. Have wedges of fresh lime and more sambal on the side for those who want added brightness and heat. I hope you love this recipe as much as I do!
A note on Peanut Butter!
I really do like Kraft Peanut Butter. I only ever buy natural with no salt or sugar added. I will buy other brands if I can find a better price, but always natural no salt no sugar! Natural Peanut Butter does separate, but for me that isn't a downside. You just have to give it a good stir before using it. A good tip is to store it upside down, which helps keep it better mixed together.
