Happy Meatless Monday!
This week we're featuring a Peanut Stew. This tasty dish is packed full of nutrient-rich veggies, but the peanut is the star of the show! Brown rice and sweet potatoes help make it a meal and the spices really bring it to life. This Peanut Stew is budget-friendly and it saves well for easy meals throughout the week. *For a nut-free option, swap the peanut butter for sunflower butter and the peanuts for chickpeas.
