veggie-stew-peanut-buckwheat-2.jpg

In the past, I was never a huge fan of peanut butter. However, a few years ago I bought a big load of peanuts on the market and decided to try and make my own. Ever since that day I have been hooked, adding it to many of my meals. Including smoothies, breakfast bowls, salad dressing and veggie stews. So good! Believe me!

I don't know what it is with store-bought peanut butter, but to me, the taste is a little off. Maybe it's all the chemical preservatives they add. Did you know that peanut butter is made from peanuts and nothing else? well maybe a little coconut oil to improve the consistency, but that's it! And it keeps for months in the fridge!

πŸ₯œ VEGGIE STEW WITH PEANUT BUTTER SAUCE AND BUCKWHEAT πŸ₯œ


Though you could serve this dish with quinoa, brown, rice or amaranth, I just love the taste of buckwheat. have you tried it yet? are you a buckwheat lover too?

Buckwheat is a nutrient-dense, gluten-free seed that has been consumed in Asian countries for centuries. These days, however, it is becoming increasingly popular in the U.S., Canada, and Europe due to its many health benefits.

Buckwheat is a very good source of manganese, copper, magnesium, dietary fiber and phosphorus. Buckwheat contains two flavonoids with significant health-promoting actions: rutin and quercetin. And it has some protein too!

1.5 cup eggplant, chopped
1/2 cup bell pepper, chopped
2 cups zucchini, chopped
