1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon garlic, pressed
-
2 cups chopped cabbage

3 cups cubed sweet potatoes (1-inch cubes)
-
3 cups tomato juice
-
1 cup apple juice or 1 cup apricot juice

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon chopped cilantro, fresh

2 chopped tomatoes
-
1 1/2-2 cups chopped okra
-
1/2 cup natural-style peanut butter

Instructions
- Sauté the onions in the oil for about 10 minutes. Stir in the cayenne and garlic and sauté for a couple more minutes. Add the cabbage and sweet potatoes and sauté, covered for a few minutes. Mix in the juices, salt, ginger, cilantro, and tomatoes. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are tender. Add the okra and simmer for 5 minutes more. Stir in the peanut butter, place the pan on a heat diffuser, and simmer gently until ready to serve. Add more juice or water if the stew is too thick.
