Ingredients




1 tablespoon canola oil
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 sweet potatoes (2 peeled, 1 with skin on), cut into cubes
1 quart vegetable stock
1 can chopped tomatoes
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon madras curry powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 cup crunchy peanut butter

Preparation

1 In a large saucepan, heat up the oil and add the onion and garlic. 2 Saute for a few minutes until softened, then add the sweet potato. 3 Cook and stir for a minute or two, then add the remaining ingredients. 4 Turn the heat up to bring to a boil, then turn down to simmer and leave to cook (no lid) for about 10 minutes. 5 Feel free to serve now, or leave to cook for longer (20 to 30 minutes at least) for more of a stew or curry-like consistency. Just make sure to cook until the sweet potatoes are soft enough. 6 Serve hot with wholewheat bread rolls, or flatbread/pita.
