  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 large tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 1 cup peanut butter (natural, unsweetened)
  • 4 cups beef or vegetable broth
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 large potatoes, peeled and chopped

Instructions

Brown the Meat

In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Add the beef or lamb cubes and brown on all sides. Remove the meat and set aside.

Sauté the Vegetables

In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Add Tomatoes and Spices

Stir in the chopped tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook until the tomatoes begin to break down and the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.

Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, ground black pepper, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt. Cook for another 2 minutes.

Combine Ingredients

Return the browned meat to the pot.

Add the peanut butter and stir to combine.

Pour in the beef or vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.

Add Vegetables

Add the chopped carrots, potatoes, and cabbage to the pot.

Cover and simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the meat and vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened.

Adjust Seasoning

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
