Step 3
Add the peanut butter, and cook on a low heat for about 20 minutes. Add your greens of choice, and cook for a further 10 minutes or until the sweet potato is tender.
Step 4
Serve the stew with the cooked brown rice, sprinkle with peanuts and coriander, and serve with a wedge of lime as accompaniment.
