Creamy African Peanut Stew (one-pot dinner)

African peanut stew is a rich, flavorful, and nutritious one-pot recipe with peanut butter, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, aromatic spices, and a protein of your choice.

This peanut stew recipe is without meat; we use chickpeas instead to make this an easy 30-minute high-protein vegetarian meal, packing more than 20 grams of protein per small portion.

You can expect a beautifully creamy texture with rich and balanced savory flavors. It’s excellent for a weeknight dinner as well as for meal prep.

Enjoy ❤️ Nico & Louise

I make this a couple times a week but I do it completely in the blender first to make it so fast & easy. Half a cup of peanut butter, a can of tomatoes, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, salt and pepper, three cloves of garlic, half a white onion. Blitz it until it's like a soup and then pour it into a pot, adding the chickpeas, sweet potatoes, spinach. Sometimes I add frozen peas. It takes about 8 minutes total to make and it is so good! So good! Squeezing the lime over at the end is awesome.

I just cooked a batch of this stew. I could live on this. Only things I had to buy was the chick peas and peanut butter. I grew everything else my own bad self. Lol. This guy has some great recipes. We don't miss the meat and our animal friends don't miss being eaten.

This is cool. Thought that now I am plant based I would not be able to enjoy one of my favorite dishes from The Gambia 🇬🇲 we call it domoda. I will certainly try to make it with the chick peas and sweet potatoes. Cheers 🥂

Hi actually this is not really how we prepare peanut soup here. A very integral part of making peanut soup is using a single pot first and cooking the oil out of the peanut butter before adding it to the soup. Then we boil the soup until you can see the oil coming out a second time. That way the soup is nice and light. We actually don’t really prepare groundnut soup in this consistency here in west Africa. It’s also easier on the stomach when prepared in the way I mentioned. 🙏🏽
