A good side dish for us tonight. For a lot of people in Africa this would have been their main dish. Thanks for an unusual experience in cooking. Made for ZWT7.

Very tasty. This is quick, simple and healthy. I used less oil and more garlic but otherwise kept to the recipe. I served it over a mix of barley and brown rice. Thanks for posting.

Using peanut butter to make the sauce makes this recipe special. I omitted the red pepper, personal preference. It was a hit with all age groups at an extended family dinner. Thank you, ~Rita~. I cooked this for the Chic Chefs during Zaar World Tour 4.

I liked this! Very rich and creamy, without all the unhealthy fats in cream. The flavors were nice, and I LOVED the texture of the finished recipe. Would be great as a veggie stirfry over rice. We ate it as a side-- I loved it, hubby just liked it.
