Ingredients:

2 tbsp olive oil
27g
1 onion
110g
3 garlic cloves
9g
1 tbsp ginger root
6g
1/2 tsp red pepper (spice)
1/6g
1 can canned tomatoes
420g
1/2 cup peanut butter
130g
1 tsp coriander leaves
1.80g
2 cups vegetable broth
480g
1 sweet potato
130g
1 can black beans
420g
1 cup peas
130g
2 cups kale
130g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g

Instructions:

1. Sauté the Aromatics:
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes. Sauté for another 2 minutes, until fragrant.
2. Incorporate the Base:
- Pour in the canned tomatoes, including the juice, and stir well to combine.
- Add the peanut butter and mix thoroughly until the peanut butter has melted into the tomato mixture.
3. Add the Liquid and Sweet Potato:
- Pour in the vegetable broth and stir well.
- Add the diced sweet potato, ensuring it is fully submerged in the liquid.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the sweet potato is tender.
4. Introduce the Beans, Peas, and Kale:
- Once the sweet potato has softened, add the black beans, peas, and chopped kale to the pot.
- Stir well to combine, letting the kale wilt and the beans and peas heat through, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Season the Stew:
- Add the chopped fresh coriander leaves to the pot.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well.
6. Serve:
- Remove from heat and let the stew sit for a few minutes to develop flavors before serving.
- Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with additional coriander leaves if desired.

Tips:

- For a smoother texture, you can blend part of the stew before adding the kale and peas.

- Feel free to adjust the spice level by adding more or less red pepper to suit your taste.

- Lime juice can be added at the end for a touch of acidity and brightness.

- Consider garnishing with chopped peanuts and fresh cilantro for added texture and aroma.

- Serve with rice, quinoa, or crusty bread to make it a complete and filling meal.
