Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

  • ½ cup cooked rice
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

Directions

Step 1
Heat the oil in a stockpot over medium heat. Saute onion, sweet potato, and garlic until onion is soft. Turn down heat if necessary to prevent burning.

Step 3
Stir in the cooked rice and peanut butter until the peanut butter has dissolved. Serve hot with pita chips and a green salad.
