African Peanut and Lentil Stew

This easy Instant Pot lentil stew recipe is absolutely delicious when served with a fresh salad and a pot of rice. You can also cook this recipe on the stove if you don't own an Instant Pot—just follow the tip below. I recommend measuring out all of the spices and adding them to a small bowl before you begin cooking. If you can't eat peanuts or have someone in your family with a peanut allergy, just omit the peanut butter. The spices in this soup create a mouth-watering meal without the need for any other ingredients; the peanut butter just thickens the stew and adds another layer of flavor and richness.
