What each ingredient does

Peanut butter
Adds body and richness, thickening the broth into a creamy, smooth stew.
Tomatoes
Provide acidity and liquid, building the savory base of the stew.
Sweet potato
Softens during simmering and adds natural sweetness and body to the stew.
Chickpeas
Hold their shape during simmering and add substance and texture.
Millet
Serves as the starchy base that the stew is spooned over.
Cabbage
Softens while cooking and adds moisture and mild sweetness to the base.

The step that matters

Stir the peanut butter into the broth until completely smooth. Peanut butter can clump or stay grainy if added to hot liquid without thorough stirring. Whisking it into the broth until fully blended gives an even, creamy texture before the vegetables go in.
