Spicy African Peanut Stew

Daily Tidbit:  I tried a new recipe today:  Spicy African Peanut Stew (pictured above)!  Totally delicious and super easy to make in the Slow Cooker.  It is a really hearty stew, packing Chick Peas, Peanut Butter, Sweet Potatoes & Red Lentils in a spicy Coconut & Tomato based brothI was happy to find a great recipe to try with my newly purchased Red Lentils, which are loaded with Fiber and Protein, and Dr. Oz rates them among the top 3 Anti-Aging foods!

RECIPES:


Spicy African Peanut Stew Recipe:
Found this super easy, filling and yummy slow cooker recipe while flipping through Peas & Thank You, by Sarah Matheny:
I made just a few changes, based on what was in the kitchen and personal preference:
-I used Low Sodium Chicken broth (instead of Vegetable Broth)
-I used canned Whole Italian Plum Tomatoes (which I broke up in the stew, instead of using Fire Roasted tomatoes)
-I did not use any sweetener (as opposed to the recipe which recommends Stevia; it totally did not need it!)
