Instructions

1. Heat the avocado oil in a large dutch oven or pot over medium heat.
2. Add onions, bell peppers, and jalapenos, and saute until they are soft & slightly translucent (~5-6 mins).
3. Add tomatoes and cook for about 5 mins.
4. Stir in all of the spices (salt, allspice, crushed red pepper, cumin, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, and turmeric). Stir in the ginger, garlic, lemon juice, sweet potatoes, and kidney beans.
5. Add the vegetable broth and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for ~20 mins.
6. Optional - thicken the stew by partially pureeing with an immersion or regular blender.
7. Stir in the greens and let them cook until wilted.
8. Stir in the coconut milk and green onions.
9. Grease a 9 inch cast iron skillet, & preheat oven to 400 degrees F. If using jalapeno, place slices evenly spaced across skillet (cornbread batter will be scooped on top).
10. Whisk together flour, cornmeal, salt, and baking powder.
11. Make an indent in the center of the dry ingredients, and add melted butter, milk, and egg.
12. Stir until the batter just comes together (there will be a few lumps left).
