This is a great Meatless Monday recipe!  It's super filling, full of awesome nutrition, warm flavors, and it's really good comfort food too.  This is my go-to recipe on cold nights when cuddling up with a bowl of soup for a dinner + movie + fireplace dinner is mandatory.

​Spicy Vegetarian Quinoa and Peanut Stew


1-3 tbsp. Canola or olive oil
1 large sweet onion, diced
1 large sweet potato, diced
2-4 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tsp. thyme
1 tsp. cumin
4 cups chicken or veggie broth
1-2 cups cooked quinoa (you can use cooked brown rice instead if you'd like)
2 14-oz cans Mexican style diced, crushed or stewed tomatoes
1 14-oz cans garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
3 medium zucchini, cut into ¼ inch pieces
½ cup of chunky or creamy peanut butter
*cilantro
*greek yogurt

  1. heat oil, cook sweet potato, zucchini, and onion
  2. add garlic and cook for 2 minutes
  3. stir in broth, thyme and cumin and bring to a boil
  4. reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes or until veggies are tender – stir often
  5. stir in tomatoes and garbanzo beans
  6. simmer another 5 minutes to heat thoroughly
  7. stir in quinoa (or rice)
  8. stir in peanut butter until melted evenly
  9. serve and garnish with cilantro and a dollop of greek yogurt
If you hate cilantro, visit http://ihatecilantro.com/ for a little laugh and maybe to get some cilantro-hating support.

I hope I didn't forget any ingredients or steps in the recipe.  It's a bad habit of mine.  Please let me know how you like it.  Also let me know if I missed a step.

Hey Emily! I changed the recipe a bit to match the photo. I made a few substitutions tonight. Used quinoa instead of rice. I think I'll do this from now on. It's soooo good this way!

I gave this recipe a try despite my concern with mixing tomatoes and peanut butter. So glad I did because it is amazing!!! Even better the next day once the spices settled in. And don't got easy on the peanut butter...it is the best part! Yum!!
