Vegan West African Peanut Stew. ❤️🖤💚Juneteenth Inspired: Episode 154

[@Ashley.Loving]

This soup looks so good! I will definitely be trying it! As for the left over tomato paste I usually measure it out in 1tbsp portions using a ice cube tray, freeze until solid, then place “ice cubes” in a freezer bag or a container. Perfect for when a recipe calls for 1tbsp! 😀

[@dr.hoodlum3423]

That is SO smart

[@greend97]

This works really well. This is what I do as well. I read this tip years ago in a cookbook magazine.

5:10 “Ya’ll not in focus, you don’t even know what you like”... Girrrrlll, I fell out, 😂🤣

[@ThatChocolateVegan]

i honestly think my camera is going thru it

[@Qochemist]

Lol....."And they think I want something else..."😆😆😆😆

[@ThatChocolateVegan]

listen, 8pm is the cut off for a random call

[@shinezshell8374]

I used to throw my leftover tomato paste away before finding it in a tube. Now I use what I need without wasting it. 😊

[@ThatChocolateVegan]

Love that!

[@cbo4369]

Buy the tomato paste in a tube. It’s a little more expensive, but it beats having to waste the rest of the can.

[@ThatChocolateVegan]

noted!

[@DivineDestiny21]

I just love your spirit and you are hilarious! I will be trying this recipe, it looks so good

[@ThatChocolateVegan]

Please do!

[@mrupstate3179]

you need your own show queen. you make me laugh every time i watch you 🙏🏽🙌🏿👏🏿✊🏿😄

[@sturkfeld]

I agree. She would have a lot of viewers.

[@ThatChocolateVegan]

awww thanks!

[@erntefreude]

I am a new subscriber, and I send you best greetings from rainy Germany. "Spicy," in Germany, is like adding a tiny bit of ginger to something. But I like it really SPICY. I will go to the Weekend Market, and there (usually from the Netherlands, or sometimes from Turkey), there will be sellers, selling JUST the hottest peppers in the world...there isn't a big crowd around those sellers, lol. I usually get the Habanero , but all the other ones, like Ghost peppers almost gave me heart failure, when I took the tinest bite. I love, that you love kale. You would love north Germany then, because we in the north just LOVE kale! The season starts right after Christmas, and Restaurants make up special menus featuring Kale. We eat it with a Wurst (I don't -I am vegan), fried potatos, and lots of beer. So, I want to say, I enjoy your videos very much, and you make me smile, and I feel like I know you. Thank you for sharing. I am fasting right now, but when I am done, I shall definitely be making this. Yummy. You are very authentic, real and just lovely to look at. Bye for now, Mia

[@ThatChocolateVegan]

omg Germany! ive only been once but i was a teenager so I need a return trip, thank you for watching!

"That was the end of that chocolate vegan" 😂😂😂 it looks delicious imma have to try❤️

[@courtneyneal1385]

Took me out when she said that 😂

[@tonyajohnson3450]

She cracks me up!!

[@sturkfeld]

Sing Erin. You have a beautiful voice. I feel the same way about the tomato paste. I started buying it in a tube. At least you can put the cap back on and put it in the fridge. You can also freeze the rest in one tablespoon portions and use as needed. The stew looks delicious! Thanks for showing how it's made. I tried Lundberg Family Farms turmeric rice yesterday and it was really good. I'm wondering how turmeric cauliflower rice would taste.

[@ThatChocolateVegan]

i see now for future what to do! I like the icecube method best, and ooo that rice sounds good

[@Kenjewdah]

For the unused paste....Ice cube stray and freeze in tablespoon amounts for future use! 😊

[@ThatChocolateVegan]

Yes! Thank you!

[@valeriesinkler2188]

Thank you for sharing hon! I LOVE peanut butter soup! I haven't had it in years. But today IS THE DAY! Much love to you sis! Keep up the great work!

Never had peanut stew but this makes me want to try it

[@ThatChocolateVegan]

its ridiculously good

@@ThatChocolateVegan I lived in Ghana - now that I am back in the states, it is our birthday meal! I miss the fufu to go with it! Boxed fufu sucks.

[@PeiPeisMom]

Sorry I'm late to the party, but to answer your question about the tomato paste I freeze it in an ice cube tray then put the cubes in a freezer bag and every time I need tomato paste I just crab a cube and thaw it out. This stew looks FABU and I'm gonna make it tonight!

[@thevisionaryassassin4352]

Peace Queen, had to sub off the strength. You mad funny yo, hope your channel grows even more. Can't wait to try this.

[@ThatChocolateVegan]

thank you so much, let me know if you do!

[@elabits514]

Hi! I take the tomato paste, spoon out a table spoons of it on a plate or cookie sheet, freeze it, then put it in a zip lock once it frozen, and pull them out for the next stew. You can do something similar with fresh herbs like thyme! Take an ice cube tray. Put the fresh herbs in them, what ever portion you like, pour olive oil over it and freeze, then pop in a ziplock. No fresh herbs go to waste. It doesn't get freezer burn cause of the oil, and it's ready when you are!. I'm roasting sweet potatoes now to make this recipe, jazzing it up.

[@garypollock1949]

I put the extra tomato paste in ice cube trays and freeze them. When they are frozen, I take them out and put them in a freezer bag. Each is about a table spoon.

[@trubiyya6925]

This was amazin, thank you for a GREAT recipe.

Looks so good! I will make this. Thank you. ❤️

Hope you enjoy

[@angelasegarra2339]

Erin.....I always smile watching your videos. I am Afican with a whole bunch of American....😜.I have been following a few African vegans on KZbin definitely need to try more recipes. As for tomato paste I am a tube person. I buy the Cento brand. I know it's more expensive but I love it.

[@ThatChocolateVegan]

Thank you so much for putting me on

[@sanzeakatesoul]

Love this vid, your filming/cooking style AND African Peanut Stew😍😋🤤

Fun video

Same reason I like purple onions. Haha. This looks amazing.

[@ThatChocolateVegan]

It's so good!

I use the leftover paste to make a quick ketchup!

[@Lovelykay25]

[@Millah323]

That would be good with "Fonio" in place of the Cauliflower rice... Imma try to make this dish!!!

[@ThatChocolateVegan]

Hope you enjoy!

[@beebeetee2926]

This peanut stew looks divine. I'm the same way. Peanuts are ok but I prefer peanut butter. Yours is right up my alley. Looks like a true stew. Not chunky, texture of the stew looks great! Cauliflower rice looked good too!

It's so good! Now i need another africen recipe to do

[@joshuaharrison4815]

Most of my recipes use tomato paste. I go through so much tomato paste. Like onions, it goes in all the best dishes. For vegans if gives an awesome zip to cheeze sauces.

[@justinwhite6787]

Made this!!! So easy and I love that you're not too precise! I like Heat, so I put in a big jalapeno then topped it with lemon zest and raw jalapeno - Muy Caliente!!!! But so damn good! Oh, and a little sour cream on top that is nice too! YUMMMMM!!!!

[@ThatChocolateVegan]

oooo that sounds so good!

[@ThatChocolateVegan]

that was my first thought but i got too nervous, people serious about that rice

[@veronicagarrett1055]

I don’t buy canned tomato paste anymore because I could never figure out what to do with the rest of it either so I started purchasing tomato paste in a tube. Use some now use some later😅

[@ohshhitsvegan9301]

I’ve been craving this. I want to make this for this weekend. I’m super nervous!

[@brownluv6]

I was on the fence about trying the peanut stew bcuz of the sweet potato now I am curious 😂😂🤣🤣 "I am African with a hold lot of American "

u can leave it out, im going to next time

[@ThatChocolateVegan]

do it for sure!

[@dvezha]

I used to freeze my remaining paste from the can until I discovered the tube like other others have mentioned. It’s been life-changing. 😂

[@Healwithshantih]

Real love is watching ads for your friends... I’m trying this

[@ThatChocolateVegan]

yes! support is a verb!

[@tammymasson2343]

I swear, I love you so much! 💜 Such funny ad lib commentary! Your hair style looks gorgeous! 😍 I have to say, every time I catch myself leaving a kitchen cupboard door open (way too frequently!) I think of you and smile! 😁 And even though tomato paste is cheap, I hate wasting the rest of the can too! So I started spooning it out in one tablespoon portions onto a small plate lined with parchment paper and pop in the freezer. When they're frozen solid I throw them into a zipper bag and back into the freezer ready for future recipe usage! 😃 Oh yeah, this soup looks awesome and tempting! 😋

[@ThatChocolateVegan]

awesome suggestion! thank you. the cabinets are open as I type. I just dont understand myself

[@PoetikSoul78]

I usually put the tomato paste in a small freezer bag for the next time I make this recipe, which will be soon.

[@amyholmes2114]

that seems to be most popular

[@Naciye2003]

That looks yummy! I get the tube of tomato paste instead of the cans. Its more concentrated and cheaper (with zero wasted paste).

This is an excellent video expounding the history of Juneteenth! Well done! However, it’s inaccurate to say that all African-Americans celebrated Juneteenth. It’s really more of a Texas-based celebration than it is for other former slave states whose slaves were earlier emancipated. As a fifth-generation Black Mississippian who grew up in the county which had the most slaves than any other county in the USA during 1860, I can attest that I never heard much about Juneteenth until now. Nevertheless, this is a very well-documented and very rich story that needs to be told. Thank you for sharing!

[@ThatChocolateVegan]

I didnt realize i said all, but ive been celebrating with my friends since 2016 but noone cared. it took the protests for the majority of black people across the country to acknowledge its existence and celebrate

[@GGTheCrochetQueen]

funny as always

Girl you are a mess! Your stew does look good, rich with some heat. Of course some good ole fashioned lip smackin' does add to the "I'ma make em drool until they cook it for themselves" appeal.
