Zimbabwean Dovi Mushroom and Peanut Stew, finished dinner

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 250 g mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 3/4 cup vegetable stock
  • 1/3 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1 can chickpeas, drained
  • 3 cups chopped collard greens
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 2 cups cooked rice or another cooked grain, for serving

Steps

  1. Heat oil in a wide pan and brown the mushrooms for 5 minutes. Add onion and cook until softened.
  2. Add garlic, ginger, coriander, and cayenne; stir for 30 seconds so the spices bloom without burning.
  3. Pour in tomatoes, stock, and chickpeas. Simmer for 8 minutes while you whisk the peanut butter with a little hot liquid.
  4. Stir in the loosened peanut butter and simmer 3 minutes until the sauce is creamy and coats the chickpeas.
  5. Fold in collard greens, cover for 3 to 4 minutes, and cook until the leaves are tender.
  6. Finish with lime, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Serve with rice or a cooked grain.
