INGREDIENTS:
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium bell pepper, diced
1 medium onion, diced
1 pound moose, cut in bite-sized chunks
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, diced
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 large sweet potato, chopped
3 cups broth, stock, or water
¾ cup peanut butter
1 cup spinach
2 tablespoons vinegar
½ cup chopped peanuts
PREPARATION:
In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium high heat.
Add the peppers and onions and cook until softened, 3-5 minutes.
While peppers and onions are cooking, sprinkle salt and pepper over the moose chunks.
Add the moose to the pot.
Brown meat on all sides, about 2 minutes.
Add garlic, ginger, coriander, and cayenne and cook for 1 minute.
Add canned tomatoes, sweet potato, and broth.
Cover and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to a gentle boil for 15-18 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are softened.
Add the peanut butter and whisk/stir until smooth.
Add the spinach, cover, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the vinegar.
Top individual servings with chopped peanuts.
NOTES:
Olive oil is one of the healthier oil choices, but other oils/fats may be substituted.
To make this recipe even healthier, see if you can reduce the amount of oil used.
Moose can be replaced with chickpeas, chicken, or game meat.
Good substitutions for sweet potato are cooked brown rice, white potato, or cauliflower.
Spinach can be replaced with kale, collard greens, peas, or green beans.
If you are missing any spices, leave it out or make a substitution. The flavor of the dish will vary based on the spices used.
It is healthier to reduce salt intake. If you are using broth or stock, use an unsalted type if possible.
Peanut butter without added salt, sugar, and oil is recommended. Any peanut butter can be used in this recipe.
