Tasty Tuesday - Sweet Potato and Peanut Butter Stew

Michael loves sweet potato and peanut butter.. combined? Surely a win win. This recipe was really flavourful and easy to make. Prep the ingredients, throw in the pan, keep stirring. I wouldn't worry about exact measurements for this - throw in the cumin and chop up big handfuls of spinach. Check the weight on your bag of vegetables and guesstimate. I came across it on Riverford's Instagram page. Tips: Peel the ginger by scraping it with a teaspoon or just cheat and use squeezy ginger or powder. Ensure you mix the peanut butter with the juices before adding to the stew or it will just stay in a big clump. OUR VERDICTS: LAUREN: Past her bed time - will have to try tomorrow! JENNIFER: Yum, loved the flavours. I probably wouldn't bother with the fresh coriander next time as it was a little too strong for me. MICHAEL: He'd already eaten most of it before I could ask so it's no surprise to find he liked it. SWEET POTATO AND PEANUT BUTTER STEW
