    A vegan stew based on peanuts? Such an interesting combination makes me curious and this is definitely something I need to try. Normally I associate stew with meat. But this vegan version, African peanut stew, is absolutely a must. I found the inspiration for this dish on veggiefunkitchen. This is a site that specialises in creating vegan version of classical recipes.

    I was in doubt for a long time on how to classify this recipe. At first I felt it was a meal soup. And as mentioned before, I associate stew with meat. But I stay with my second thought: it is definitely a stew. The crunchy peanut bites convinced me finally.

    How to measure peanut butter?

    Measuring peanut butter (and similar substances) can be quite a mess. But on veggiefunkitchen I found a great tip to do this more efficiently. I first measured the vegetable broth. Then I re-calibrated the scale and added the peanut butter to the broth. No sticking and no need for scraping!
