Spices...sweet potato...red onion...what is not to like about this?? lol. Well that's what went through my mind when I found this little gem hiding in Linda Majzlik's cook book A Vegan Taste of East Africa
. From the moment I heated up the onion and ginger...to adding the spices and then the sweet potato and stock I was salivating. The aroma clung to the house for a few hours after and it was heaven. It's simple to make..tastes gorgeous and a pleasure to eat. Make this for yourself and see..
