Vegetable Peanut Sweet Potato Curry. 1 Pot 30 Minute Quick and Easy Weekday or Weekend Meal. Serve over rice or quinoa or with toasted pita bread. Vegan Gluten-free Soy-free Recipe. Can be nut-free with sunbutter.

Its getting pretty hot out here. Baking and standing near the stove for too long is not fun. So what to do with the sweet potatoes if not bake them? Make them into a quick curry.

This is a simple Sweet Potato, Veggie, and Pea curry with Peanut butter sauce. Sweet potato works really well with the nut butter and this sweet savory stew is a perfectly satisfying meal as well as satisfies the summer sweet craving. In summer, I prefer less spices in the stews, so I add just a sprinkle of garam masala in the end. Curry powder, Berbere, harissa and cajun spice blend also work well in this curry. Add the spices you prefer towards the end with the peas and adjust to preference. This curry is a great base to build up on with additional vegetables, beans, spices and flavor. For a deeper flavor profile, try the sauce from this very popular Chickpea Turmeric Peanut Butter Curry.

You can also make this into a soup with additional water or broth and serve it hot or cold. Add some chickpeas or lentils to make it hearty. 1 Pot, easy and makes a great dinner.

In other news, Vietnam is taking steps to end Bear Bile farming. It is one of the most excruciating thing to watch and know and I hope the bears still stuck in cages for their bile, can be free and live a life like a bear.

Ingredients

1 tsp oil
½ cup (80 g) chopped onion
3 cloves of garlic minced
1 inch ginger minced
1 cup (100 g) cauliflower florets
½ (0.5) bell pepper green or red chopped
1 small sweet potato peeled and cubed
½ tsp (0.5 tsp) salt
3 tbsp peanut butter or other nut butter or sun butter to make it nut-free
1 tbsp lime or lemon juice
1 to 2 tsp sugar or maple syrup
½ tsp (0.5 tsp) distilled white or apple cider vinegar
¼ tsp (0.25 tsp) garlic powder
¼ tsp (0.25 tsp) pepper flakes
1 tsp sesame oil
1 cup (226 ml) or more water or use light coconut milk for creamier
½ cup (72.5 g) peas thawed if frozen
black pepper to taste
garam masala or curry powder to taste optional

Instructions

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until translucent. Fold in the ginger.
Add peppers, cauliflower, sweet potato and a dash of black pepper and cook for 3 minutes.
Add the rest of the ingredients till peas and mix well. It will take a few minutes for the nut butter to incorporate. Partially cover and cook for 15 minutes. (You can also add a cup of cooked chickpeas or lentils at this time or fold in some kale now or spinach with the peas).
Taste and adjust salt, sweet and heat. Add a dash of lemon and cayenne if needed. You can also fold in a bit of garam masala or curry powder.
Add in the peas. Simmer for another few minutes if needed or until the vegetables are cooked to preference. Adjust consistency if needed with more water or non dairy milk.
Serve over rice or grains or with toasted pita bread/flatbread. Add some more water during simmering to serve as soup. Can be served hot or cold. I usually garnish with basil or cilantro, pepper flakes and peanuts.

Notes

For quicker recipe (less chopping): blend the garli and ginger with the nut butter and ingredients after nut butter until smooth, then add to the pan and simmer until veggies are done.

For flavor variation, try some smoked paprika, berbere or cajun spice.
