Groundnut Stew

From Sunday's At Moosewood Restaurant:

2 cups chopped onions
2 tbsp peanut oil
1/2 tsp cayenne or ground dried chiles
1 tsp pressed garlic cloves
2 cups chopped cabbage
3 cups cubed sweet potatoes
3 cups tomato juice
1 cup apple juice
1 tsp salt
1 tsp grated fresh ginger root
1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
2 chopped tomatoes
2 cups chopped okra
1/2 cup peanut butter

Sauté onions in oil for about 10 minutes. Stir in the cayenne and garlic. Sauté for a couple more minutes. Add the cabbage and sweet potatoes, and sauté, covered, for a few more minutes. Mix in juices, salt, ginger, cilantro, and tomatoes. Cover and simmer or about 15 minutes, until sweet potatoes are tender. Add okra and simmer for 5 more minutes. Stir in the peanut butter, turn heat to lowest setting, and simmer until ready to serve. Add more juice or water if stew is too thick.
