Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp canola oil

  • 1 cup diced onion

  • 3 medium sweet potatoes (1 lb), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes

  • 1/2 15.5 oz can chickpeas, rinsed and drained

  • 1/2 16 oz can can dark kidney beans, rinsed and drained

  • 1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes

  • 1 14 oz can vegetable broth

  • 3 Tbsp reduced-fat peanut butter

  • 1 1/2 tsp granulated sugar

  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin

  • 1/2 tsp curry powder or ground cinnamon

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Directions

  • Heat canola oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook 6 minutes or until they are richly browned, stirring frequently.
  • Add potatoes and cook 2 minutes. Add remaining ingredients, except cilantro, and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 25-30 minutes or until potatoes are very tender. Spoon into bowls and serve topped with cilantro.

Notes

  • Be sure to cook the onions the full 6 minutes to ensure rich, brown results.
