This dish is a great weeknight option, because it's ready in just 30 minutes. It can be served on its own, or on a bed of steamed grains such as brown rice.
Those with peanut allergies can use alternative nut or seed butters in this recipe- sunflower and cashew butters in particular will work well.

Ingredients

1/2 Cup Water

1 Medium brown onion, sliced

1 Clove Garlic, peeled and crushed

1 Tbsp Grated fresh ginger

1/4 Tsp Red pepper flakes

1 1/2 Pounds Sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into inch-thick pieces

1 Red bell pepper, sliced

Satay Sauce:

1 1/2 Tbsp Crunchy peanut butter

1 Tbsp Low-sodium soy sauce

2 Tsp Rice vinegar or tamarind paste

2 Tbsp Sweet chili sauce

1/4 Tsp Ground coriander

4 Tbsp Water

Directions

1 Combine all ingredients for the satay sauce in a bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside. Heat a large fry-pan or wok, add the 1/2 cup of water, onion, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes; cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes. Add the sweet potato and cook for a further 12 minutes, adding more water as necessary to prevent sticking. Add the bell pepper and celery and cook for 3-4 minutes, until slightly softened.

2 Add the chickpeas and satay sauce, and cook at a high heat for about a minute, until the sauce thickens. Remove from the heat and serve immediately, sprinkled with fresh coriander.
