Instructions

1. Place onion, garlic, and ginger into the mixing bowl. Chop 5 sec / Speed 5. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
2. Add olive oil, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Sauté 5 min / 120°C / Speed 1. Insert the simmering basket on the lid instead of the measuring cup to allow steam to escape.
3. Add sweet potatoes, chopped tomatoes, and vegetable stock to the mixing bowl. Cook 20 min / 95°C / Speed 2 Reverse. Place the simmering basket on the lid to prevent splatter.
4. Pause, scrape down the sides and bottom of the mixing bowl with the spatula. Check the consistency and ensure sweet potatoes are softening. If too thick, add a splash more stock.
5. Add sliced mushrooms and peanut butter. Continue to cook 8 min / 95°C / Speed 2 Reverse. Place the simmering basket on the lid.
6. Add fresh spinach and lime juice. Cook 2 min / 90°C / Speed 1 Reverse, or until spinach is just wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. To settle the stew and prevent sticking, cook for a final 1 min / 90°C / Speed 1 Reverse.
8. Serve the Hearty Sweet Potato and Peanut Butter Stew hot, garnished with fresh chopped cilantro and accompanied by red rice.
