    How to Make Sweet Potato and Peanut Stew with Kale

    1. Sauté Onion

    Begin by heating the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent.

    2. Add Garlic and Ginger

    Once the onions are ready, add the crushed garlic and minced ginger. Cook for another 3 minutes, allowing their aromas to infuse into the oil and onion mixture.

    3. Combine Main Ingredients

    Next, introduce the sweet potatoes, red lentils, tomatoes, salt, cumin, cinnamon, turmeric, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Pour in the vegetable broth and stir everything together. Bring the mixture to a boil, ensuring all the ingredients are well combined.

    4. Simmer the Stew

    Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and let the stew cook for 40 to 45 minutes. During this time, the red lentils will break down, thickening the stew naturally and giving it a hearty texture.

    5. Stir in Peanut Butter

    Once the stew has reached the ideal texture, stir in the creamy peanut butter. This will add a luscious, nutty depth to the dish.

    6. Add Kale

    Now, add the finely chopped kale to the pot. Season with pepper and continue to cook until the kale is tender, which should take just a few minutes.

    7. Serve and Garnish

    Finally, serve the stew hot, garnished with chopped green onions and roasted peanuts. These add a fresh crunch and a burst of flavor that beautifully complements the creamy base of the stew.
