this is the Wodtke Wussie version, ie sans cayenne. (just kidding, C. i cooked it with undying love.) for the real thing you can go easier on the ginger and pepper it up to your desired flavor-- 1/2 to 1 tsp, probably.
2 sweet potatoesok. boil the sweet potatoes until tender, set aside. fry up the garlic, ginger and coriander for a min or two in a big-ass soup pot, throw in the onions, cook until soft. throw in the eggplant and tomatoes, and addt'l water as needed, cook (simmer) for about 10 min. throw in the zuke, cook 20 min more. throw in (and remember, you must THROW. if you toss the food in or even place it nicely in the pot, the Big Spice Hearty Food Police will come and whup you but good.) the sweet potatoes, the peanuts, the veggie juice and the peanut butter (i found it easier to mix the last 2 together before asking them to play nicely with the other veggies.) and cook 5 or 10 min more. meanwhile,make the cous cous (leave in 2 cups boiled water, covered, off of heat source, for 5ish min.)
Civilized people (ie the Sierra Leonians) would serve the stew on top of the cous cous, but i'm a lazy barbarian who only wanted to lug one enormous pot up the %*&YH&*&) hill, so i mixed it all together. if you wanna be really punk rock, you can garnish with bannana or hard boiled egg slices.
and now you know. d
