Peanuts & Pumpkin Stew

This African cuisine-inspired dish is a true classic combination of peanuts and pumpkin. The flavour is almost comparable to how filling this dish is (almost). This delicious stew is also very mason jar-friendly and can be stored in the fridge for 1 to 2 weeks and eaten slowly overtime. Just make sure that the seal is airtight.
