Collard greens are economical and nutritious.

Start with a Dutch oven, about 5 quarts or larger, or a large 12-inch skillet with high walls.

Add olive oil to the pot. If oil-free, use vegetable stock instead.

Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent.

Add minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking until fragrant.

Add fire roasted tomatoes to the pot and cook until softened.

Stir in sweet potatoes, chickpeas, and peanuts, cooking until sweet potatoes are tender.

Add peanut butter and vegetable stock, mixing well.

If using tomato paste, add it now; if not, skip the tomatoes.

Cover the pot and let it cook until sweet potatoes are almost falling apart.

Mash some sweet potatoes with a spatula for creaminess, or leave them whole if preferred.

Stir in spinach or another green of your choice before serving.
