African-inspired yam stew with split peas, red lentils, peanut butter, lemon, and soy sauce - a nutrition-packed flavor bomb!
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups yellow split peas
  • 5 yams, peeled and diced
  • 3 sweet onion (such as Vidalia®), chopped
  • 1 cup red lentils
  • water to cover
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 0.5 cup peanut butter
  • 0.5 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 (19 ounce) can chickpeas, drained
  • 2 cups frozen spinach
  • salt to taste
Instructions:
  • In a large container, generously cover the split peas with cool water; allow them to soak for 1 hour.
  • In a large pot, mix together drained split peas, yams, onions, and red lentils. Add enough water to cover by 1 inch. Stir in garlic and ginger. Bring to a boil and skim off foam with a slotted spoon. Simmer until yams are very tender, approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.
  • Use a potato masher to blend split peas, yams, and lentils. Stir in peanut butter, lemon juice, and soy sauce. Add chickpeas and frozen spinach, cook for 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
