This African – inspired peanut stew brings together warming spices, legumes, and whole grains into a deeply satisfying, one pot meal. It is rich, slightly spicy and naturally creamy from peanut butter or peanut powder – with out any added oils. The combination of beans, red lentils and quiona provides excellent protein and fiber, making it ideal for sustained energy and fullness.
This is the kind of meal that supports your healthy daily routine – simple to prepare, easy to batch cook and perfect for leftovers or freezing for future meals. I make this in my 8 QT Instant Pot – cut the recipe in half to fit in your 6 QT Instant Pot.
This is my go to tool for evenly dicing, fruits, veggies and potatoes. It makes everything look so professional. No knife skills required.
