2 tablespoons peanut oil or 2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1 teaspoon garlic, pressed |
2 cups chopped cabbage |
3 cups cubed sweet potatoes (1-inch cubes) |
3 cups tomato juice |
1 cup apple juice or 1 cup apricot juice |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon grated peeled gingerroot, fresh |
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro, fresh (optional) |
2 chopped tomatoes |
1 1/2-2 cups chopped okra |
1/2 cup natural-style peanut butter |
Directions:
1. Sauté the onions in the oil for about 10 minutes. Stir in the cayenne and garlic and sauté for a couple more minutes. Add the cabbage and sweet potatoes and sauté, covered for a few minutes. Mix in the juices, salt, ginger, cilantro, and tomatoes. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are tender. Add the okra and simmer for 5 minutes more. Stir in the peanut butter, place the pan on a heat diffuser, and simmer gently until ready to serve. Add more juice or water if the stew is too thick.
