AFRICAN SWEET POTATO STEW
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 SWEET POTATO PEANUT STEW
I made this recipe after taking ideas from various places. It is a very adaptable recipe, so you can add different veggies and meats. I usually add cauliflower for extra produce and because it is neutral flavored. Some of the spice amounts can be changed; use the cayenne if you like things spicy. The types of milk listed would all be pretty authentic. You can add some cilantro or shredded chicken at the end of cooking if you want.

Use an immersion blender to puree the stew until smooth. Add the peanut butter and okra, and simmer to desired consistency (it might splatter). Add more water or milk if it is too thick.
