2 lbs boneless pork butt, cut into 1 in cubes
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2-1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
2 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

Steps:

In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoons of the oil on high heat. When hot, add the pork cubes and cook until soft. Stir in the garlic, curry powder, coriander, cumin, and crushed red pepper. Cook 1 minute. Add ginger, cinnamon, bay leaf, salt, chicken broth, and tomato paste.
Bring liquid to a boil, cover and simmer on low for 45 minutes. Add peanut butter and blend well. Cook stew another 3 minutes, uncovered to blend.
