African Thai Stew

By now you’ve probably noticed that I’m a big fan of hearty autumn stews. Now I know what you’re thinking…….peanut butter, sweet potatoes, raisins, garbanzo beans…..together???? Yes! And wow are they ever a scrumptious combination!

This stew is both subtly sweet and spicy and has a lovely richness and creaminess. Use your slow cooker or make it on the stove top in no time. I know you’ll love this flavourful and hearty stew as much as I do =)
