I adapted this recipe from one found at 196 Flavors.  The subtitle for this blog is 196 countries, A world of flavors.  

I was only feeding 3 of us so I halved the recipe.  I also used beef broth instead of water that was mixed with the peanut butter.  

This was a wonderful stew that we all loved very much.  We could have eaten more, there was not a morsel left when we were done with dinner.
