SWEET POTATO STEW

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring broth to a boil. Crumble beef into broth. Cook, covered, for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add remaining ingredients; return to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until meat is no longer pink and potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.

PALEO BEEF AND SWEET POTATO STEW

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Poke holes in the sweet potato halves with a fork. Place on a parchment- or foil-lined baking sheet and bake until fork tender, about 1 hour. Alternatively, microwave on high until the flesh is fork tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside.
• Tie the sage, thyme and rosemary sprigs together with kitchen twine or a clean rubber band and set aside.
• Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat and cook the bacon, stirring often, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate and discard all but 1 tablespoon of the pan drippings.
• Pat the beef dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Return the Dutch oven to the stovetop on medium-high heat. Working in batches, brown the meat on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the broth, onions, carrots, celery, tomato paste, garlic and herb bundle. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 1 hour on low heat.
• Uncover and cook at a low simmer until the meat is tender and the vegetables are cooked through, 45 minutes.
• Scoop out the flesh from the cooked sweet potatoes and place in a blender. Carefully add 1 cup of the stewing liquid and the cashew butter to the blender, then puree until smooth. Add the puree to the stew and stir well. Simmer to thicken, 5 minutes, then season with salt and pepper. Remove the herb bundle and serve the stew garnished with the bacon bits and parsley leaves.

SWEET POTATO BEEF STEW

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Season steak with salt and pepper, to taste. Working in batches, add steak to the stockpot and cook, stirring occasionally, until evenly browned, about 6-8 minutes; set aside. Add onion, carrot and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and mushrooms, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and browned, about 3-4 minutes. Whisk in flour and tomato paste until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Stir in wine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the stockpot. Stir in beef stock, thyme, bay leaves and steak. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until beef is very tender, about 30 minutes. Stir in sweet potatoes; simmer until potatoes are just tender and stew has thickened, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Stir in parsley; season with salt and pepper, to taste.* Serve immediately.

SWEET-POTATO STEW

• Add coconut milk thinned with vegetable stock or water to about halfway up the sides of the mixture; cook until soft, then mash about half of the mixture.
• Garnish with chopped peanuts and cilantro and serve.

SWEET POTATO STEW

Steps:

• Place a saucepot over medium-high heat and add the coconut oil. Add the sweet potatoes with a pinch of salt and cook until they begin to brown and soften, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and then add the onions, poblano, garlic, coriander, chili flakes and ginger. Cook until the onions soften and the mixture is very fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the vegetable stock, coconut milk and chickpeas and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are completely tender and the liquid has reduced slightly and has thickened, about 15 minutes. Stir in the cilantro and serve with a squeeze of lime on top.

SWEET POTATO CASHEW STEW

Steps:

• Mince the garlic and dice the onion. Heat grapeseed oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add garlic and sauté until light brown, 1-2 minutes. Add onions and a pinch of salt. Stir and sweat the onions, 3-4 minutes.
• Peel and chop the carrots; chop the celery. Stir in the celery, carrots, and tomato paste. Let the tomato paste brown in the pan a few minutes. Stir in cumin and coriander, followed by thyme and chopped tomatoes. Reduce heat to low and cook 5 minutes; meanwhile, peel and dice the sweet potato. Stir in the sweet potato, and cook 5 more minutes.
• Purée chicken stock and cashews in a blender. Add to the vegetables and stir. Increase heat to medium-high and bring stew to a simmer. Cook uncovered until liquid is reduced by half, 35-40 minutes.
• When stew is reduced, core and dice the apples and stir them in. Ladle into bowls and serve hot.
