African Yam Stew image

I made this last night and it was great! Very simple and very good for you. I tasted it before adding the lemon juice and I think that I liked it better without, but the recipe (from a nutrition book - Becoming Vegetarian) called for it, so I've included it below. I added some cooked tomatoes at the same time as the yams. I used 2 very rounded teaspoons of some Chinese Chili Garlic sauce I had in the fridge. I ate it with a dolop of yogurt. Nothing else needed, it's a complete meal. My boyfriend ate it with Pita though. I can't wait for the leftovers tonight :-)

I tried this recipe last night and it was delicious! The only thing I changed was that I used chicken broth instead of vegetable broth, and it turned out great.

This African yam stew was a total hit with my family! The flavors were so rich and complex, and the yams were perfectly tender. I especially loved the addition of the coconut milk, which gave the stew a creamy and velvety texture.
