African Peanut Stew

This is one of my favorite recipes that I have brought to you, because it screams easy, affordable, and accessible.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 white onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 inch knob of fresh ginger, chopped
  • 10 oz. plum tomatoes
  • 15 oz. tofu, cubed
  • 1/2 tsp ground paprika
  • Cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter
  • 1 heaping cup chopped dinosaur kale
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • Lime, to garnish

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss tomatoes in a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt on a baking sheet. Roast for 12 min. until blistered and soft. Add to a blender, along with onion, garlic, ginger, and a tbsp of water. Blend until smooth. Set aside.
  2. In a large stockpot, heat a tsp of oil. Add cubed tofu and cook for 5-6 min. until slightly crispy and golden brown. Pour in tomato mixture. Add salt, paprika, cumin, and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil, and simmer for 8 min.
