Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, combine cumin, salt, cinnamon, cayenne, chile flakes, and cloves.

Step 2

Start by heating the Instant Pot using the Sauté function. Once hot, add sweet potato, onion, and bell pepper. Cook and stir for 3 minutes.

Step 3

Add a splash of water if the vegetables stick to the pot. Then, add garlic, ginger, and the spice mixture. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Turn off the cooker.

Step 4

Stir in the crushed tomatoes and peanut butter until the peanut butter is fully incorporated. Add 240 mL of water and then close and lock the lid with the vent set to sealing. Select the Manual mode and set the timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

Step 5

Once the pressure is released using the natural-release method, unlock and remove the lid. Stir in the collard greens.

Step 6

Serve the stew with separate bowls of cilantro and chopped peanuts for garnish.
