This stew is hearty comfort food at its finest. Perfect to warm you up when it’s chilly outside.
It’s easy, made in one pot, ready in about 30 minutes, and loaded with layers of flavors and textures.
Start by sweating down sweet Vidalia onions and red peppers before adding chicken, garlic, ginger, coriander, chicken broth, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and for the finishing touches – cilantro, peanut butter, and peanuts.
If you like peanut sauce, you’re going to love this stew because the broth is almost like drinking peanut sauce which I adored since peanut sauce and I are BFFs.
It sounds like a hodge podge but that’s what soups and stews are generally. Trust me, the flavors and different textures all work wonderfully together.
I took a compilation of recipes I found for African Peanut Stew to create this recipe. I feel like the flavor profile reads more Asian and Thai because of the generous amounts of ginger, coriander, and peanut butter. Then again I have never been to Africa or eaten much African food.
It reminds me a bit of this Sweet Potato and Chickpea Coconut Curry and this Thai Chicken Coconut Curry. If you’re a fan of anything Asian, Thai, Indian, or have a thing for peanut sauce or sweet potatoes, this stew will be your jam.
