I made this last night and it was great! Very simple and very good for you. I tasted it before adding the lemon juice and I think that I liked it better without, but the recipe (from a nutrition book - Becoming Vegetarian) called for it, so I've included it below. I added some cooked tomatoes at the same time as the yams. I used 2 very rounded teaspoons of some Chinese Chili Garlic sauce I had in the fridge. I ate it with a dolop of yogurt. Nothing else needed, it's a complete meal. My boyfriend ate it with Pita though. I can't wait for the leftovers tonight :-)
Ingredients:
4 cups vegetable broth
1 chopped onion
2 cups peeled and diced yams
1 cup canned chick-peas
1 cup uncooked brown rice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup peanut butter
2 cups chopped collard greens or 2 cups kale
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon braggs liquid aminos or 1 tablespoon tamari
chili sauce

1. Heat 2 Tblsp of stock in a large pot. Add the onion and saute over medium heat for 5 minutes, adding more stock if necessary.
2. Add the remaining stock, yams, chickpeas, rice and salt; simmer for 45 minutes.
3. In small bowl, blend the peanut butter with 1/2 cpu of liquid from the stew to make a smooth paste. Stir into the stew along with the greens and cook for 5 minutes.
4. Stir in the lemon juice, pepper and tamari or Braggs; add chili sauce to taste.
