A vegetarian version of the African chicken stew. Serve over cooked rice, if desired. Ingredients:
4 tablespoons peanut oil (or canola) |
2 large onions, peeled and chopped |
1 small butternut squash, peeled and cubed into 1/2 inch pieces |
4 small turnips, peeled and chopped |
4 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered |
2 large carrots, peeled and chopped |
1/2 head cabbage, chopped |
2 large tomatoes, seeded and chopped |
1 bunch swiss chard, chopped |
2 small jalapenos, seeded and chopped |
2 cups tomato sauce |
water, as needed |
3/4 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky) |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in Dutch oven or heavy soup pot over medium-high heat.
2. Add the onions and cook until beginning to brown.
3. Add vegetables one at a time, sauteing each one for a minute or two before adding the next.
4. Stir in tomato sauce and about one cup of water (depending on thickness of stew you desire). Reduce heat & simmer until all the vegetables are tender (15-30 minutes).
5. Spoon out half a cup of the broth & mix it with the peanut butter to make a smooth paste. Return to the pot & simmer for 15 minutes.
6. Serve over cooked, hot rice (optional).
