Peanut-Butternut Squash Stew

Recipe by: EVG Uploaded by Drimble Wedge

A couple years back I stopped in at the Great Dane pub in Madison, and on whim tried their African-style butternut squash stew with peanut butter, called the Inner Warmth Peanut Stew.

It was so astonishingly delicious (especially because I never really enjoyed squash in the past) that I had to look for a recipe online to try a similar dish at home.

To my surprise and glee, the actual recipe had been shared by the chef of the restaurant! And that's what I'm sharing with you today.
