SENEGALESE CURRIED CARROT SOUP
I don't know enough about Senegalese cuisine to vet whether this recipe is authentic—in fact I'm pretty sure I've never eaten a dish that someone claimed was truly Senegalese—but if this recipe is any indication, it's time I remedied this lack of knowledge. This is the carrot soup for people who hate carrot soup. There is something very surprising about it; how creamy and rich it is without a trace of cream (milk is used instead), the surprisingly perfect affinity of sweet carrots with complex curry spices.
As far as simple, deeply flavored recipes go, this one is a model citizen. A base of onions softened in butter start off the proceedings, then the carrots and spices and either vegetable or chicken stock. Simmered and pureed then thinned just-so with warm milk and topped with thick yogurt, it is the kind of soup you have in a restaurant and wonder about the recipe. It's also surprisingly filling as a main course. The secret: find some excellent, fresh curry powder to ensure the best flavor.Submitted by: CLONEBOT

Senegalese Peanut Stew
This is a bit higher fat and calorie, if you make it into 6 servings. If you divide it into 8 servings, the calories per serving go down to 400. It's very filling! This is a good vegetarian source for NON-saturated fats, fiber and protein.
I had to work around the measurements SparkPeople had in the food area, so here are some notes:
- GREEN BEANS - I used 1 lb of frozen green beans
- CHICKPEAS - this is 2 14.5 oz cans
- SWEET POTATOES - this is 2.25 lbs
- PEANUT BUTTER - this is 1/2 cupSubmitted by: H0TARU
