Instructions

5 steps

1
Sear the Meat: In a heavy-bottomed pot, brown the cubed meat in a little oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent.

2
Add Tomatoes: Stir in the tomato paste and diced fresh tomatoes. Cook for 5 minutes until the tomatoes break down and release their juices.
3
Build the Broth: Add 3 cups of water and the scotch bonnet pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes to tenderize the meat.
4
Incorporate Peanut Butter: In a bowl, whisk the peanut butter with a ladle of the hot broth until smooth. Pour this mixture back into the main pot. Stir constantly until it dissolves perfectly into the stew.
5
Add Veggies and Acid: Add the cubed sweet potatoes and simmer for another 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender. Stir in the lemon juice just before turning off the heat to add a bright, tangy finish.
