Just in time for Fall...I will try with Almond butter.

Sounds good.

It'll be cashew butter for me.

I'm thinking that using butternut squash instead of sweet potato might be good, also.

Thanks for the recipe.

That sounds YUM!

I've made an african version of that with less broth and some crushed tomatoes. Add some meat and a little red pepper flake... to die for. But I am a sucker for sweet potatoes, I'm going to have to give this a try. Thanks for posting!

I made African Groundnut Stew...that's when I found out groundnuts were peanuts
