I actually cooked this up tonight, too. I probably like things even spicier than you, so I used three chipotles in adobo from a can leftover from another soup I made last week (a posole and pork recipe). I also used low fat supercrunch skippy because, well, I’m a creature of habit and I have trouble consuming any other kind of peanut butter. Also, I had one white sweet potato and a regular orange one. It was delicious, although I felt that mine definitely needed the salt, possibly because my PB was sweeter. I’m looking forward to the flavors mellowing while it’s in the fridge and having some leftovers.

Oops, I see you’ve already got the puree trick.

No to pumpkin, but yes to okra. I also use cabbage, quartered but not fully cored and eggplant. (that’s the Senegalese influence.)

Here’s a tip I learned from my Nigerian friend. Take a cup of the fully cooked stew, complete with meat and veggies, and run it through a food processor or blender. Then returned the stew back to the pot. Grinding the stew releases the flavors and everything tastes so much better.

Afi, thanks for the tip. Do you use pumpkin for the traditional W. African stew? Okra?

Kim, I’m going to try this tonight. If you like Peanut butter, try Maafe or any of the West African peanut butter stews. They’re great for cold weather.

I love peanut butter in stews. One of my favorites is this chunky version, but with similar ingredients: http://freshcrackedpepper.com/2008/02/24/spoony-sundays-1/

So great for the cooler weather!
