Instructions: 4 SERVINGS VEGAN

Fortunately, many Southeast Asian ingredients formerly considered exotic are now regularly stocked on supermarket shelves. Youll need Thai curry paste and a stalk of lemon grass to get the great taste that this quick recipe delivers. If your supermarket doesnt carry them, try an Asian market. Its worth the effort to have these ingredients on hand. Serve this memorable stew on its own or over jasmine or basmati rice.

In large saucepan, combine water, stock powder, lemon grass and curry paste. Bring to a boil. Add sweet potatoes, cover and cook over medium heat for 7 minutes. Stir in beans and salt to taste. Cover and cook until sweet potatoes are tender, about 3 minutes more. Add a bit more water if mixture becomes too dry. Remove pieces of lemon grass before serving.
