The West African chicken stew turned out well, even better than last time. The recipe calls for sunflower seed butter without sugar, and I couldn't find any. Last time I used some that did but I prefer to not use added sugar when possible. So I bought some raw sunflower seed kernals for < $2 and proceeded to attempt to make my own nutbutter. Apparently my food processor isn't powerful enough for that, after almost 30 minutes all I had was very, very fine sunflower...unsure what to call it - it is too fine to call meal but not quite fine enough for flour. Anyway, I used this, whatever it is, in my recipe and it worked out well. Since the volume didn't really decrease, I did add more to the stew than the 1/4 cup called for in the recipe.
