Ingredients

Servings:5
  • 2 medium Red onion, finely diced
  • 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons Berbere spice blend
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 large Sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 4 cups Vegetable broth
  • 3/4 cup Natural creamy peanut butter (unsweetened)
  • 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
  • 3 cups Chopped kale or collard greens
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 cup Crushed roasted peanuts for garnish(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat and sauté the onions until they are translucent and starting to brown, about 8-10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the garlic, ginger, and Berbere spice blend to the onions, stirring constantly for 2 minutes to toast the spices without burning them.

  3. 3

    Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another minute until it darkens slightly in color.

  4. 4

    Add the cubed sweet potatoes and pour in the vegetable broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any flavorful browned bits.

  5. 5

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the sweet potatoes are tender.

  6. 6

    In a small bowl, whisk the peanut butter with a ladle of the hot broth until smooth, then stir this mixture back into the main pot.

  7. 7

    Add the chopped greens and simmer for another 5 minutes until the greens are wilted and the sauce has thickened to a creamy consistency.

  8. 8

    Season with salt to taste and serve hot, garnished with crushed peanuts, ideally alongside Injera or rice.
