Peanut butter makes a
wonderful creamy sauce for this nutrition-packed stew that is likely to become
a family favourite. It is well loved by children and adults alike and has a
good balance of protein, fat, and carbohydrate. Lemon juice, added at the end
of cooking, adds a lively note to the flavour. If you like, add a dash of hot
pepper sauce, fiery chipotle sauce, or Vietnamese chili sauce.
