Ingredients

  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 red bell pepper seeds removed, diced
  • ½ head cauliflower broken into florets
  • 1 sweet potato diced
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp curry powder

  • 15 oz chickpeas one can, drained and rinsed
  • 14 oz diced tomatoes one can
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 3 cups kale chopped
  • 1 lime juiced

Instructions

  • Slow cooker instructions: Add all ingredients except the kale and lime juice to a slow cooker. Mix well, and set to high for 6 hours, until cooked, stirring intermittently if possible. Half an hour before you have finished cooking the stew, add in the kale and lime juice.
  • Stove top instructions: In a pot over medium heat, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the onion, garlic, bell pepper, cauliflower and sweet potato. Saute until slightly softened, approximately 8 minutes.
  • Add the spices, including the turmeric, paprika, curry powder and soy sauce to the pot. Stir and saute until fragrant, approximately 3 minutes. 
  • Add the chickpeas, diced tomatoes, peanut butter and vegetable broth. Stir until mixed well. Bring to a boil, then simmer covered over low heat for 25 to 30 minutes. Before serving, stir in the kale and add lime juice, if desired.
  • Enjoy on its own or with rice as desired.
