Healthy One-Pot Meal: African Peanut Stew

chicken_peanut_curry.jpgI’m a big fan of simple and healthy one-pot meals, especially with colder temperatures, and this recipe is a winner.

My friend Julianne sent it to me awhile ago, but I just started making it recently, and it’s simply divine.  And not only is it tasty, but it’s an economical way to create a healthy meal that you and your family can enjoy during the week.  Think about cooking once to eat at least twice, but hopefully multiple times.

I will tell you that it’s a little upfront work with the chopping, and it took a little longer than I expected, but it’s well worth the effort. I made up a batch on Sunday night and Bruce and I have been enjoying it ever since.  I love the mix of flavors with the root vegetables and the peanut butter. To keep it optimally healthy, I use an all-natural peanut butter that’s free of sugar and hydrogenated oils, so you can imagine that means no Skippy or Jif!

I love this recipe because you can get plenty of protein from the peanut butter but it’s a nice break from eating meat.  Give it a whirl and let me know what you think.

  1. Wow Wendy! I LOVE peanut butter recipes and will have to send you my Peanut Butter Pasta. (Don’t worry, it’s not all pasta, it’s really more fresh veggies) People should really try peanut butter more as they will be surprised how it tastes in meals. I even put peanut butter on my egg whites when I’m seriously working out at the gym.

    Keep the amazing, beneficial info coming!
