1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed (about three cups)
1 small white onion, peeled and diced (about one cup)
1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes with their juice
4 cups water
1/2 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (or a half teaspoon of powdered ginger)
1/4-1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cups fresh baby spinach
Instructions
Combine all ingredients, except the spinach, in your crock pot. The peanut butter will incorporate as this cooks, so don’t worry about adding it in as a lump. Cook on high for 3-4 hours, or on low for 6 hours.
When the sweet potatoes are tender, stir in the spinach, cover, and let it cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted. Taste and adjust the salt and seasonings, if needed.
