Indian Peanut Stew
A West African–inspired dish with Indian twists—peanut butter, sweet potatoes, and warm spices make it creamy, spicy, and completely plant-based.
Ingredients
- 2 cups uncooked brown rice 6 cups water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large white onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons grated fresh ginger root
- 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 cup chunky natural peanut butter
Directions
- Place rice and water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer until rice is tender and water has absorbed, about 30 minutes.
- Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion, and cook until soft and golden, stirring frequently. Add garlic and ginger, and cook until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, and season with cayenne pepper. Increase heat to medium, and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in peanut butter and heat through. The mixture will thicken. Serve over rice.
