Today I made the Groundnut Stew. Sounds funny, but pretty good.
Ingredients:
2 medium-to-large onions, sliced or coarsely chopped
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 garlic cloves, either minced or pressed
3-4 cups coarsely chopped cabbage
2-3 medium to large sweet potatoes, cubed coarsely
3 cups tomato juice
1 cup apple juice
2 teaspoons fresh peeled and grated ginger root
1 Tablespoon fresh cilantro (optional, but don't forget to invigorate!)
2 tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup peanut butter
Directions:
Sauté the onions and the cayenne pepper in oil for about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for a couple more minutes. Add the cabbage and sweet potatoes and sauté, covered, for a few minutes.
Add the juices, ginger, cilantro and tomatoes. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender. Be sure to stir the stew occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Add the peanut butter, stir thoroughly, simmer a few more minutes, and serve. If the stew gets too thick, feel free to add more tomato juice and/or apple juice.

Verdict? I put a bit too much cayenne in, didn't use cilantro, used yams instead of sweet potatoes and used powdered ginger, but it tastes pretty good, overall. hearty and yummy
ETA: I also used a purple cabbage since I had one. Still good.
