WEST AFRICAN PEANUT STEW
A hearty stew that's super-easy to make and great for peanut butter lovers. Can be made vegetarian or with chicken. In a pinch, feel free to use vegetable or corn oil for peanut oil, powdered ginger for fresh, water for stock, etc. Kale works well in place of collard greens.

Steps:
- Cook the rice according to package instructions.
- While the rice cooks, make the stew. Set a medium soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-low heat. When hot, add the olive oil and the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6-8 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, and coriander and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute.
- Add the broth, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, ginger, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Once the stew comes to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered until the sweet potatoes are tender, 8-10 minutes.
- Stir in the peanut butter and the spinach. Stew is done when the peanut butter has distributed and the spinach has wilted, about 2 minutes. Taste and add more salt and pepper if you like.
- Serve with a scoop of brown rice and garnish with cilantro and peanuts.

AFRICAN SPINACH AND PEANUT BUTTER STEW
Found online at www.fooddownunder.com, while looking for economical 'African' recipes. Tasty and nutritious, a vegetarian main dish or a good side dish. You could easily add garlic, cooking it with the onions, add some mushrooms, adding with the tomatoes, and I think some chilli, fresh, powdered or flaked, would also add a bit of spice to this very versatile dish!

AFRICAN SPINACH AND GROUNDNUT STEW (AKA PEANUT, KENYA/TANZANIA)
This is from "Best of Regional African Cooking". The original calls for 1/2 c. finely ground unsalted peanuts. That's too much work, so I substituted peanut butter. This is a very thick, rich vegetable side. It is not a stew like we think of stews in the US. My husband liked it, and it is the only spinach dish he will eat.

WEST AFRICAN PEANUT STEW
One-pot meals are staples in Gullah-Geechie households, and this dish is a special one to me. West African enslaved people were brought to the Low Country, and with them they brought their indigenous foods like collards, tomatoes, peanuts and rice. This stew has all of those ingredients, and it's delicious served on its own or over rice.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven until hot. Sprinkle the chicken pieces with salt and pepper and cook until browned on all sides, about 20 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate. Add the onion, garlic, ginger and bouillon cubes to the pot and cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste and peanut butter. Add 4 cups of water and the Scotch bonnet pepper. Return the chicken to the pot. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat and let simmer 10 to 12 minutes.
- Add the sweet potatoes, tomatoes and collard greens. Cover and simmer until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes. (Remove the Scotch bonnet pepper if someone has a low tolerance for heat.)
- Serve warm with hot cooked rice, if using.
AFRICAN PEANUT STEW
I first had this stew at a restaurant in Rochester, NY, and when I moved away, spent years recreating it! Delicious with a lovely hearty bread, or with rice cooked in the stew (about 3/4 cup brown rice added with the sweet potatoes and carrots).

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:
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Spray the inside and lid of a cast-iron Dutch oven with canola oil or wipe with peanut oil.
- Scatter the onion in the pot.
- Rinse the rice in a strainer under cold water until the water runs clear. Tip the rice into the pot, add the liquid, and stir to make an even layer.
- Place the chicken on the rice. Add the bell pepper.
- In a measuring cup, whisk the milk, garlic, cayenne, salt, and peanut butter until the peanut butter dissolves. Pour over the chicken.
- Layer in the tomatoes, sweet potato, and spinach.
- Cover and bake for 45 minutes, or until 3 minutes after the aroma of a fully cooked meal escapes the oven. Serve immediately.
- Use coconut milk instead of milk. Substituting soy or rice milk is also always acceptable in a Glorious One-Pot Meal.
- Substitute a minced jalapeño chile instead of the cayenne. Or use four shakes of red pepper flakes.
- Shrimp and/or scallops instead of, or along with, the chicken taste great, too. Or try tofu (use extra-firm cubes).
- Use sweet or white potatoes instead of rice.

SPICY, HOT AFRICAN CHICKEN WITH SPINACH
For years I had been trying to replicate a dish that was prepared for me by an African family. Finally, during a random sales call, an African telemarketer was gracious enough to help me piece together the missing ingredients. This is a hot, spicy, thick stew that is completely addictive. It contains chicken, peanut butter, and spinach. There are some other variations of the African stew out there, but none compare to this. The secret to the stew is both peanut butter and spinach together. That is how the sauce gets its deep color. The peanut butter oil and spice combine to make sauce unbelievably thick and savory.

Steps:
- Rinse off chicken and cut off extra fat. Sprinkle with salt. Set aside.
- Peel garlic cloves (4-6).
- Wash and dry spinach.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large pot. Keep heat low so oil does not smoke.
- Add garlic to oil in pan and heat until brown, remove with spoon and set aside (be careful)
- Add chicken to pan and turn heat to medium.
- Put a good sear on the chicken until it is browned.
- Add half water to pan and deglaze. This will get the chicken flavor off the bottom of the pan.
- Add bouillon and pepper to water and bring to a boil. You now have your chicken simmering in a broth.
- Reduce pan liquid by half. Cook until chicken is falling off the bone.
- Add peanut butter, browned garlic, and paprika.
- Add spinach and stir until all ingredient have integrated (10 minutes at least).
- Watch it close so it doesn't burn.
- The stew should be thick when you remove it. If its runny then let it simmer until it thickens.
