African Groundnut Stew

Another oldie but a goodie. In a large pot mix 1 chopped yellow onion with 1 TBsp olive oil until browned, then stir in 2 TBsp garlic, 2 tsp ginger, 1 TBsp brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1 tsp cumin. Once blended in add 2 cups chopped butternut squash and 4 chopped sweet potatoes to the pot. Stir to coat with all the spices. Then add 2 cups of water, or enough to bring to just over the level of veggies. Bring to a boil. While heating, in a bowl whisk together 1/2 cup peanut butter with 1/2 cup water until very thin mixture. Turn the heat in the pot down to low after it was brought to a boil and add in the peanut butter mixture, as well as one can of drained kidney beans. Let simmer for at least 30 minutes, then add 1 cup peanuts and stir in. Serve over rice, or with flat bread (I love the TJ's middle eastern flatbread).
