    How to Prepare West African Peanut Stew [Vegan]

    1. Heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium heat and add the onion and ginger. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt to draw out the water. Cook until onion is golden brown.
    2. Add garlic, habanero, curry powder, and smoked paprika. Cook until fragrant.
    3. Add sweet potatoes and cook 5 minutes. Add carrots and cook 1 minute.
    4. Add tomatoes, coconut milk, broth, bouillon cube, collard greens, and peanuts. Bring to a boil and reduce to Simmer until sweet potatoes are fork-tender and collards are cooked, about 20 mins.
    5. Add peanut butter and chickpeas. Simmer until everything is thick, creamy, and delicious. Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste. We started with 1 1/2 tsp of salt and went from there.
    6. Serve with rice. Garnish with chopped peanuts and cilantro. Enjoy!
