This truly is peanut butter soup. It has a nice thick texture and
works with lots of different greens and vegetables. If you are not
a fan of the peanut, you can still savor this stew by substituting
other nut butters. It is a lovely warm and hearty stew that
combines very nicely with the millet.
3 large yams, peeled and
diced
11/2 cups garbanzo beans
cooked in 4 to 5 cups water or 1 (25-ounce) can
3 red bell peppers, diced
1/4 cup olive oil
2 medium onions, diced
8 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons cumin
1 tablespoon coriander
2 cups peanut butter
(I prefer natural crunchy
peanut butter for this dish)
How to make
African Peanut Stew with Spiced Millet
In a stockpot, steam the yams for 10 minutes in a half-inch
of water and then add the beans.
In a skillet, sauté the red
peppers in olive oil for 2 to 3 minutes, then add the onions,
garlic, cumin, and coriander.
Saute for another minute and
then transfer the contents of the skillet to a food processor and
add the peanut butter, tamari, lemon juice, and 2 cups of the
water or stock.
Process until well blended. Pour this peanut
sauce over the beans and veggies and add another 1/2 to 1 cup
of the water or stock as needed.
Heat through.
