Traditionally, the main dish during Kwanzaa is a one-pot stew. Our variation of peanut stew is packed with wholesome ingredients and full of flavor, making is as comforting as it is nourishing.  Compliment this dish and keep the tradition of serving red, black, and green food and drink alive by making this kale lemonade as a flavorful beverage option.
