African Sweet Potato Stew

Ooooh I'm going to try that stew.

Thanks for the wonderful recipe. I made it tonight, but as is normal for me and recipes, I did make a couple of changes.

The first was an accident, but I'll probably repeat it next time too. I read the amount wrong for the ginger, so instead of using a teaspoon of freshly grated ginger I used a tablespoon. Good flavor though, so...

I added a pound of extra firm tofu cut into cubes, and I used a can of black beans plus a can of chick peas instead of the kidney beans.

And you're right, it is good with quinoa. I think couscous would work nicely too.

Thanks again!

I'm a lazy cook, so I just threw them in at the same time that I put the tomatoes in the pot. I always put tofu in that early because I want it to pick up the flavor of the dish, and I've never felt a need to hold the beans out until the end, so they went in at the same time.

I made this recipe tonight. Oh So Gooooood. I increased the peanut butter, and cut out the cayenne completely because my kids don't like spicy. What a delicious meal.

Had it over couscous. Perfect

The great flavors in this recipe tempted me to try it again, but with different vegetables this time. Instead of sweet potatoes, I used cauliflower and carrots. And it was still an awesome dish. Hmm... I wonder what I'll try next!

And yes, I do have a problem sticking to a recipe. I have a tendency to use whichever veggies sound good to me.
