Introduction from Rukmini Iyer
I hadn’t had a groundnut stew before trying the one in Ruby Tandoh’s Flavour, and found the combination of peanut, tomato and chilli in a sauce addictive – it’s my most requested dinner at home. This vegan version, with chunky sweet potato and onions, is a good alternative – serve with a bowl of freshly cooked white rice.
Ingredients
Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/200°C/ gas 6.
Mix the sweet potatoes, onion, ginger, garlic and Scotch bonnet with the oil and salt in a roasting tin, then transfer to the oven and cook for 45 minutes, until the sweet potato is just soft when prodded with a fork.
Mix together the peanut butter, chopped tomatoes and vegetable stock, and pour over the roasted sweet potatoes. Give everything a good stir, then return to the oven for a further 15 minutes.
Fish out the Scotch bonnet, season to taste with salt and scatter over the chopped coriander and peanuts. Serve with hot rice.
