I printed this recipe out a few years ago, and I finally made it yesterday, when it was 90 degrees outside! It may have been too hot to eat stew, but I don't care, I have been wanting to try this recipe for the longest, and finally made it! This was one of the best stews I have ever tasted and it was very easy to make! I will definitely be making this dish over and over! I love the combination of spices and the collards greens in it..that really set the dish off!

I made this recipe for my church's international potluck and it was a smash hit! The peanut butter hits it just right. It may not be the most beautiful dish but it taste wonderful.

I love this recipe, make it pretty often and have recommended it to friends, who also love it!

The only thing is, aren't chili flakes and crushed red pepper the same thing?

Peace

My parents were native of South Carolina and this was a staple in my home since I was a child, I have cooked this recipe for more than 40 years, my grown sons love this recipe since their childhoods. My ancestors were from West African hence the African feel of "Collard Green Stew". I've also used chicken and fish in this recipe, but I never tried this recipe with pork. This is one of my favorite dishes it is soothing and when cooked right the food is colorful like Africa and beautiful to look at. Best served over rice (GeeChee south east coast island of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida.

I use pork instead of beef and this is so good. I was surprised when my kids liked it, but they did!

I just made this and I'm sitting here with ny 2nd. bowl. It was so super easy to make. I couldn't find chili flakes so I used another tsp. of chili powder. I found it needed 1 tsp. more salt and lots of fresh ground pepper. I also added a tsp. of sugar because I just always have when using canned tomato products to take away any bitter taste. The creamy texture together with the nuts from using extra chunky Jif and the greens were amazing in the very unique tasting sauce. I was really surprised it was soooo tasty because I don't partifularly love curry. But although you taste it, the peanut butter tones it down and adds another taste element. You just have to make this yourself because you will see just how great this is.

lots of bold flavor and great texture. im always paranoid about cooking things on the stove so i did the stovetop thing for an hr then cooked the greens, then i baked it in the over for 2 hours @ 350. yum.

Was looking for something different for our Fat Tuesday Party and happened upon Paula making this recipe....perfect. We made this for 75 people and the only thing that we changed was the Chili Flakes and we could not find them - nor did Penskey's know of Chili Flakes - hence we used Red Pepper Flakes. Also used frozen bags of onion because of the quanity of product we needed. Everyone loved it and many have asked for the recipe. The secret ingredient - Peanut Butter - tooooooo delicious.

I was looking for a "first" recipe to try out my new dutch oven and came across African Chop.

I added a third pound of stew meat as my skinny husband is a big eater and I was also making it with company in mind. I added a little additional water to compensate for the extra meat. Next time I will not add extra water just the additional meat.

I cooked the recipe as written up to the first hour in the dutch oven, added the cooked bacon & tomato puree, let it cool, and placed the covered dutch oven in the fridge over night. On day two I added the sauted greens, onion and peanut butter and let it simmer for another hour.

During the last 30 minutes of cooking I did an additional "dump" of chili powder, curry powder and ground black pepper.

I served this with a tossed salad and thick slices of dry toasted 7 grain bread.

This is a great recipe!

Excellent recipe......even though I took it up a notch. I added tabasco sauce, and five cloves of garlic. I plan on trying this recipe using pork, or chicken maybe even fish. Its also a nice way to get the children to eat their veggies. A real winner.
