Preparation
1
Get Prepped

  • Boil 250ml water (per 2P) in a large pot along with the stock.
  • Chop the sweet potato into 2cm chunks (peeling optional).
  • Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
  • Drain and rinse the lentils in a sieve.
  • Zest and quarter the lime.

TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

2
Cook the Quinoa

  • Once the water is boiling, add the quinoa, reduce the heat to medium-high, cover and cook for 4-5 mins.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, covered, a further 8-10 mins. 
  • Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.

3
Fry the Sweet Potato

  • Place a separate large pot over high heat with a generous drizzle of oil.
  • When hot, add the sweet potato and cook until slightly softened, stirring occasionally, 6-8 mins.
  • Lower the heat to medium-high then add the ras-el-hanout with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Cook until fragrant, stirring continuously, 1 min.

NOTE: Adding tofu? Chop into 2cm cubes, season as instructed and fry with the sweet potato, 6-8 mins.

4
Simmer the Stew

  • Stir the coconut milk (or shake the packet) to dissolve any lumps.
  • Pop the chopped tomatoes, coconut milk, 75ml water (per 2P) and ½ tsp sugar (per 2P) into the pot with the sweet potato.
  • Stir in the lentils and peanut butter and give everything a good mix.
  • Bring to the boil, cover and simmer until the sweet potato is tender, 10-12 mins.

TIP: Add a splash of water if the stew becomes too thick.

5
Finishing Touches

  • When everything is almost ready, fluff up the quinoa with a fork. 
  • Stir through the lime zest and half the parsley.

6
Garnish and Serve

  • Spoon the quinoa into bowls.
  • Top with generous helpings of the spiced peanut stew.
  • Garnish with peanuts, lime wedges and remaining parsley.
