African Sweet Potato Stew

"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."

- Cook's Note:
- Substitute 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger for the fresh ginger if preferred.
- If you like, coat 1 pound pork stew meat with flour and cook in a small amount of oil in a skillet over medium heat, drain, and add to the stew with the green beans (in step 2).

I just realized I forgot to add the garlic, and I still loved it!

I tried to make this, following the steps exactly and it did not look anything like the picture (no corn, peas?...) and it was awful.

To make it more authentic, for a Rwandan, use white sweet potatoes, and don't use chickpeas. Some areas use them and some don't. This is a vegetarian recipe, and the reason I like it is that m...

I only used one can of chickpeas and one can of tomatoes. I substituted vegetable broth for the water in the recipe. It was great! Would make it again.

I thought it turned out pretty good except that I only have a medium-small crockpot so I had to leave out the second cans of chickpeas and tomatoes and a sweet potato. I liked the flavor level, ...
