Ingredients

1 kg Sweet potatoes Peeled and chopped into chunks
400 g Chickpeas Drained and rinsed
400 g Coconut milk I used reduced fat, either type is fine
400 g Tinned chopped tomatoes
1 Onion Peeled and chopped
150 g Crunchy peanut butter
3 Cloves of garlic Peeled and chopped
3 tsp Ground ginger
3 tsp Ground cumin
1 tsp Ground coriander Optional
1/2 tsp Chilli flakes Optional
3 tbsp Tomato puree

Instructions

Put all of the ingredients into the slow cooker and stir well.
Cook on HIGH for 4 HOURS or LOW for 6 HOURS.
Stir well and serve.

Notes

Onions and garlic: I use pre prepared frozen, chopped here. An onion weighs about 150g, so replace with that pre chopped weight. Garlic is about 5g per clove so I use 15g (3 teaspoons)

Peanut butter: I prefer crunchy for texture but smooth is also fine if you prefer

To add meat: Try adding some chicken thighs before cooking. Be sure to check they are fully cooked before serving

Sweet potatoes: You can chop and peel fresh ones or buy chunks of frozen pre-prepared

Alternative to slow cooking: Cook it in a pan on the hob on a low heat. It will take about 30-40 minutes (depending on how soft you want the sweet potato to be). Add water or stock to thin the sauce
