I made the African Groundnut Chicken and Sweet Potato Stew last night. The only change I made in the recipe was using fresh sweet potato, steamed and mashed. This was a real delight – unusual and delicious. Thank you for this terrific recipe.
So glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the feedback Roberta!
