Servings: persons

2 tablespoons canola oil or 2 tablespoons butter, if not concerned with keeping the dish vegan
2 sweet red peppers, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
6 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons ginger, minced
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
4 cups vegetable broth or 4 cups chicken broth, if not concerned with keeping the dish vegetarian
6 ounces tomato paste
14 ounces coconut milk
1 cup natural-style peanut butter (no added sugar or salt)

1
Heat the oil (or butter) in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
2
Add pepper, onion, garlic, ginger, allspice and cayenne pepper (if using) and saute for 5-7 minutes. Garlic and ginger should become quite fragrant and the onions and peppers slightly tender.
3
Add potatoes, broth and tomato paste to the pot. Stir to incorporate the tomato paste. Bring to a boil.
4
Immediatly reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 40-45 minutes. Adjust heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer. Avoid over-stirring as this can break down the potatoes more than desired.
5
Wisk together the coconut milk and natural peanut butter until smooth and creamy. Stir into the stew and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
6
Ladle into bowls and enjoy! This stew is wonderful on it's own or paired with grilled cheese sandwiches or grilled peanut butter sandwiches!
