In a large pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the onion, sprinkle with salt and cook for 3 minutes, until translucent. Add the garlic, jalapeño, ginger, cumin and cayenne then stir together and cook for about 2 minutes.

Next add the tomato paste and stir together. Add the sweet potato, peanut butter, vegetable broth and water. Stir together then bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook for 15 minutes. Add the chopped collard greens to the pot, stir, then cover and continue to cook for another 15 minutes, until sweet potato is tender.

Using the back of the spoon, mash some of the sweet potato to help thicken the broth. Boil uncovered for 5 minutes. Serve warm with rice and garnish with cilantro, peanuts, and lime juice. Enjoy!

To make without oil: toast the cumin and cayenne in a large pot over medium heat for about 30 seconds. Add the 1 cup of water with the onion, garlic, jalapeño and ginger. Cook for 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste, peanut butter, broth and sweet potato then bring to a boil. Cover and cook for 15 minutes. Add the collard greens to the pot, stir, then cover and cook for another 15 minutes. Follow the last step and serve as directed above.
