• 4 cups vegetable stock, divided
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups peeled and diced sweet potatoes
• 1 cup chickpeas, drained

1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons vegetable stock, onion, and garlic. Cook and stir until onion is soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add remaining stock, sweet potatoes, chickpeas, brown rice, and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover the stew. Simmer until sweet potatoes and rice are tender, about 45 minutes.
2. Combine peanut butter with 1/2 cup of the liquid from the stew. Stir into a smooth paste.
