Hello sweet potatoes?

This African Vegetable Stew is a recipe I’ve made since I found it a LONG time ago on Usenet discussion boards pre-AOL. :laughing: I liked that it had the sweet potatoes/yams, Swiss chard, rice, tomatoes, and garbanzo beans all in one dish.

There are others out there called “African Groundnut Stew” that are very similar but include peanuts. This vegetable stew is good on its own, or as a side dish for grilled chicken. I’ve found it best to use a very large straight-sided 3" deep skillet to fit all of the ingredients.

It serves 4 as a full main dish, easily 6-8 as a side dish, depending on other items being served.
