    Recipe



    Place the oil in a large, heavy pot over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, and bell peppers, and sauté lightly about 8 minutes. Add garlic and sauté until golden. Add sweet potatoes, peanuts, tomatoes, tomato paste, chiles, chili powder, cumin and sugar.

    Reduce heat immediately and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for 15 to 25 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are barely fork-tender. Halfway through cooking process, adjust seasonings, adding additional chili powder, cumin and sugar, if desired. Add salt and pepper as desired.

    Serve in bowls or, if desired, on plates, over cooked brown rice.
