TIPS

These tips can help you make a better Hearty Sweet Potato Kale Stew:

• Uniform Cuts: Cut sweet potato into even cubes so they cook at the same rate.

• Wilt Kale Well: Give kale enough time to wilt fully to avoid a fibrous texture.

• Use Fresh Smoked Paprika: Adds warm depth and slight smokiness and choose high-quality for the best taste.

• Bright Finish: Add a squeeze of lemon or a drop of olive oil when serving to enhance flavour layers.

• Leftovers Tip: Flavour improves the next day, store it and reheat gently.

VARIATIONS

• Protein Boost: Stir in cooked chickpeas or lentils toward the end of cooking.

• Spice Variation: Add a pinch of cayenne or cumin for heat and earthiness.

• Creamy Twist: Stir in coconut milk or a teaspoon of tahini for richness.

• Herb Swap: Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley for herbal brightness.

• Grain Serve: Serve over cooked quinoa or barley to make it more filling.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

• Fridge Storage: Let stew cool completely and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

• Freezer Storage: Transfer it to freezer-safe containers, leaving some space for expansion; freeze for up to 2 months.

• Reheating: Warm gently over low heat, stirring occasionally. Add fresh kale or seasoning after reheating.
