African Pineapple Peanut Stew Recipes

Steps:

• In a covered saucepan, saute the onions and garlic in the oil for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are lightly browned.
• While the onions saute, wash the kale.
• Remove the stems. Stack the leaves on a cutting surface and slice crosswise into 1-inch-thick slices.
• Add the pineapple and its juice to the onions and bring to a simmer. Stir in the kale, cover, and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring a couple of times, until just tender.
• Mix in the peanut butter, hot pepper sauce, and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Add salt to taste.

Steps:

• Place the first 8 ingredients in a food processor; process until pureed. Transfer to a 5-qt. slow cooker; stir in sweet potatoes, beans and water., Cook, covered, on low 6-8 hours or until potatoes are tender, adding kale during the last 30 minutes. If desired, top each serving with chopped peanuts and additional cilantro.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large, heavy stockpot. Add the onion, garlic, jalapeno, and ginger, and cook over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until the onion is lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Add the curry powder and cook, stirring, until fragrant and lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Whisk in the broth and peanut butter, season with pepper and tamari to taste, and bring to a boil. Cook over moderately high heat for 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Add the sweet potatoes, carrots, and chickpeas, cover partially and cook over moderately low heat until the vegetables are just tender, about 20 minutes. Add the okra and green beans, cover partially and cook until all the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes longer. Add the kale and juice of 1 lime, and cook for 10 more minutes.
• Transfer to deep bowls and serve hot. Garnish with the cilantro, lime wedges, and chopped peanuts at the table.

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, sautée the chopped carrots, celery, and onion with the spices. Add the garlic after about 2 minutes (so they do not burn), and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
• Add the cubed sweet potatoes and tomatoes, mix for two minutes, then add the water and milk. Simmer until the sweet potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes. Use an immersion blender to puree the stew until smooth. Add the peanut butter and okra, and simmer to desired consistency (it might splatter). Add more water or milk if it is too thick.

Steps:

• In a large heavy kettle, heat 3 tablespoons oil.
• Roll beef cubes in flour, then brown in hot oil.
• While this is cooking, add nutmeg and chili powder.
• When meat is browned, add onion, garlic, water, red pepper to taste, and tomato sauce.
• Simmer until meat is tender, about 1 hour.
• If desired, add carrots and peas while stew is simmering.
• A few minutes before serving, heat peanut butter and remaining 2 tablespoons oil (this can be done in the microwave).
• Stir peanut butter mixture into beef stew over low heat.
• Let simmer 15 minutes, until peanut butter is absorbed.
• Serve over steamed rice with hot sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Add the can of pineapple with its juice to the onions.
• Bring to a simmer.
• Stir in the kale or chard, cover, let simmer about 5 minutes, just until the greens are tender.

• Add the sea salt to taste.
• Serve it over your favorite grain and top with the crushed peanuts and chopped scallions.

Steps:

• Heat the peanut oil in a large pot over medium-high heat; cook and stir the onion, garlic, and ginger in the hot oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken; cook and stir until completely browned. Season with the crushed red pepper, salt, and black pepper. Pour the chicken stock over the mixture. Stir the sweet potatoes into the liquid and bring the mixture to a boil; reduce heat to low, cover the pot partially with a lid, and cook at a simmer for 15 minutes.
• Stir the tomatoes, collard greens, and peanut butter into the soup. Partially cover the pot again and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, another 20 minutes.
