Peanuts are an important part of many African cuisines. Combined with sweet potatoes, chickpeas, and kale, they give this stew a power punch of nutrients and great flavor. Serve with rice or bread and a salad.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or as needed
4 cups vegetable stock, divided
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups peeled and diced sweet potatoes
1 cup chickpeas, drained

2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons vegetable stock, onion, and garlic. Cook and stir until onion is soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add remaining stock, sweet potatoes, chickpeas, brown rice, and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover the stew. Simmer until sweet potatoes and rice are tender, about 45 minutes.

I followed the recipe exactly and the stew turned out bland and watery. I'm not sure what went wrong.
