african peanut stew + rice + salad

I love foods with peanut sauces. Indonesian chicken satay, udon noodles with peanut sauce, mmmm...so delicious. I also like dishes that have basic, inexpensive yet nutritious ingredients. West African Peanut Stew from The Vegetarian Family Cookbook has both. This soup had sweet potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, onion and ginger swimming in a sea of broth and peanut butter. Sounds odd, tastes superb.

I served it over rice and would have loved to have added the cayenne but for the sake of everyone but my oldest daughter (she loves spicy, too) I refrained and just added red pepper flakes as a garnish to my bowl. A green salad finished off the meal.
