Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion (diced) (about 2 cups)
3 medium cloves garlic (minced)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes
2 medium sweet potatoes (peeled and diced) (about 2 cups)
1 tablespoon fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground red cayenne pepper (plus or minus to taste)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt + more to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper + more to taste
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
4 cups packed fresh baby spinach
2 cups cooked brown rice
Fresh cilantro
Chopped salted peanuts

Steps:

Cook the rice according to package instructions.
While the rice cooks, make the stew. Set a medium soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-low heat. When hot, add the olive oil and the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6-8 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, and coriander and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute.
Add the broth, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, ginger, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Once the stew comes to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered until the sweet potatoes are tender, 8-10 minutes.
Stir in the peanut butter and the spinach. Stew is done when the peanut butter has distributed and the spinach has wilted, about 2 minutes. Taste and add more salt and pepper if you like.
Serve with a scoop of brown rice and garnish with cilantro and peanuts.

Stir in the sweet potato, carrots and garlic; cook for 1 minute, stirring often. Add the ginger, cloves, salt and cayenne; cook for 30 seconds.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the peanut butter until smooth.

Add the spinach; cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Yields about 1 2/3 cups per serving.

This vegan, Senegalese stew makes a rich and comforting winter warmer. Creamy peanut butter thickens the soup with a deeply flavorful nuttiness that plays well against the sweetness of the sweet potatoes and the spice of the cayenne. I doubt your guests will miss the meat as this combination of ingredients makes this dish super hearty and filling. This one-dish meal needs no accompaniment but a light and crunchy green salad with a simple vinaigrette will amp the veggie presence for your dinner. Pack in a thermos for a hot and tasty lunch on the go. This dish makes a great starter for a dinner party. Divide your servings in half so your guests aren't full before the main course is served. Then you have 12 servings in only an hour of work.

Friend of mine let me look through one of her Weight Watchers cookbook and I found this recipe and tried it and its so good that I wanted to save the recipe and share it with everyone. DH and I love it! Had it with a grilled chicken breast and salad. :) I did change the vinegar to what I had on hand. Original calls for rice-wine vinegar. This is 1 point per serving.
