SWEET POTATO AND PEANUT STEW



Sweet Potato and Peanut Stew image

This recipe makes me feel good. It's very different. There a number of steps, so you can't just put it on the stove and leave it, but the results make it worthwhile. Can be made with ground turkey or vegetarian, and it's dairy-free.

2 tbsp sunflower oil
1 large onion , chopped
1 tsp cumin seeds
400g sweet potatoes , cut into medium chunks
½ tsp crushed chilli flakes
400g can chopped tomato
140g salted, roasted peanuts
250g chard , leaves and stems, washed and roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Heat a large saucepan with a lid over a medium heat and add the oil. Add the onion and fry until light golden.
