2 T. peanut or vegetable oil

½ tsp. cayenne or other ground dried chiles

1 tsp. pressed garlic cloves

2 C. chopped cabbage

3 C. cubed sweet potatoes (1-inch cubes)

3 C. tomato juice

1 C. apple or apricot juice

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. grated peeled fresh ginger root

1 T. chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

2 chopped tomatoes

1 ½-2 C. chopped okra

½ C. natural peanut butter

 

Sauté the onions in the oil for about 10 minutes. Stir in the cayenne and garlic and sauté for a couple more minutes. Add the cabbage and sweet potatoes and sauté, covered for a few minutes. Mix in the juices, salt, ginger, cilantro, and tomatoes. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are tender. Add the okra and simmer for 5 minutes more. Stir in the peanut butter, place the pan on a heat diffuser, and simmer gently until ready to serve. Add more juice or water if the stew is too thick.
