Preparation
Step 1
In a large pot heat the olive oil on medium low and add the onion and cook until softened. Add the garlic and saute for 2 more minutes.
Add the sweet potatoes, kidney beans, tomatoes with juice, coconut milk, peanut butter and water and stir until it comes together as a sauce.
Bring to a simmer by turning up the heat to medium. Add the salt and cayenne.
Reduce the heat to low and let simmer covered, stirring every 5 min. until potatoes are tender, about 20-25 min.
I found the stew to be a bit thick after cooking so I added a splash more water and coconut milk and adjusted the seasoning with salt.
Serve the stew over the cooked quinoa and garnish with cilantro and peanuts.
