AFRICAN SWEET POTATO STEW



African Sweet Potato Stew image

I came across an African sweet potato stew recipe a few years ago, and adapted it to suit our taste. It is very flavorful and just a bit spicy - just right for cold days! This recipe makes a lot of stew, so it may be halved for a smaller portion, but also freezes very well.

AFRICAN STEW

Delicious hot and spicy stew for the slow cooker

Provided by 162120

Time 3h

Yield Serves 5

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • cut beef into 1 inch cubes
  • heat butter in pan add onions, carrots, garlic and fry until pale gold
  • add beef cubes and fry until well-sealed and brown
  • stir in tomato paste, cloves, ginger, cayenne pepper, salt and vinegar
  • pour in stock then bring to boil
  • cover and leave for 2hrs until meat is tender, stirring from time to time
  • Mix peanut butter with the flour
  • add a little a at time to the simmering stew until it thickens.
  • I often make loads more than this as it freezes well, just double up the quantities. I make it in a slow cooker and dont do from item 7 until it is about to be served or about to be frozen. It needs to be simmering well to thicken with the flour. I always find it best to remove quite a bit of the stock and mix it with the peanut butter mix first then mix it with the rest of the mixture as it goes very lumpy if you just add it and stir and if the beef is too tender it will just get lost in the stock

Tips:

  • Choose lean cuts of meat to reduce fat content.
  • Use a variety of vegetables to add flavor and nutrients.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and herbs.
  • Cook the stew on low heat for a long time to allow the flavors to develop.
  • Serve the stew with whole-grain bread, rice, or quinoa for a complete meal.
