African Sweet Potato Stew Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Vegetarian Recipes. (African Sweet Potato Stew Recipe). I came across an African sweet potato stew recipe a few years ago, and adapted it to suit our taste. It is very flavorful and just a bit spicy - just right for cold days! This recipe makes a lot of stew, so it may be halved for a smaller portion, but also freezes very well.
