Peanut Chickpea Yam Stew

Yield: 4-6 servings

1 tbsp olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

5 cloves of garlic, finely minced

1 tbsp ginger, grated

1 large sweet potato, peeled and chopped

2 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp chili flakes

6 oz tomato paste

6 cups vegetable stock

3/4 cup creamy peanut butter

1 can chickpeas

5 cups kale, stems removed and chopped

salt and pepper

cilantro, to garnish

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until soft and translucent.
2. Reduce heat to medium-low, and add the garlic and ginger. Cook for another minute, until fragrant.
3. Add the sweet potato and cook for a few more minutes.
4. Add the cumin, chili flakes, tomato paste, vegetable broth, peanut butter, and chickpeas. Stir well until the tomato paste and peanut butter have mostly dissolved into the broth.
5. Bring to a boil and simmer until the sweet potatoes are just tender, about 15 minutes.

6. Once the sweet potatoes have softened, use a large wooden spoon to mash some of the sweet potatoes against the side of the pot. This is to help thicken the soup.
7. Add the kale and cook for 5 minutes, or until kale is tender.
8. Garnish with cilantro, chopped peanuts, and serve with rice.
