Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine cauliflower, 2 tablespoons oil and 1 teaspoon salt and toss. Spread on parchment-covered baking sheet and roast until the cauliflower begins to brown, about 25 minutes, turning pieces every 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.

  2. Step 2

    Heat remaining oil in a 4-quart saucepan over medium heat and sauté the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger and pepper flakes and sauté for 5 minutes. Add the yucca, tomatoes, carrots, celery and soy sauce, and cook, uncovered, until tomatoes are reduced, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in two cups of water, cover and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer partly covered for 10 minutes. Add the squash, sweet potato and 1 teaspoon salt and mix. Cover and cook for 15 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add the roasted cauliflower and peanut butter to the stew and mix. Cook until heated through, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the ginger juice, scallion, cilantro and cayenne. Taste for seasoning. Stir in a little water if needed to make a nice coating sauce. Pour stew into a large bowl and sprinkle with peanuts and cilantro. Arrange bowl on a platter surrounded by greens and serve.

Fine, but not worth making again.

SO good! And filling. Only had 1/3 of yucca so mixed with turnips. Used butternut squash and batata. Also since my tomatoes were very meaty I thinned with 2 cups chicken stock. Perfect amount of heat from pepper flakes/cayenne. A bit sweeter than I prefer despite no-sugar-added peanut butter.

Recipe was a hit. Used a whole head of cauliflower and skipped the turnip. No need to peel the potato.
