    Just about any type of tempeh—soy, quinoa, sesame, wild rice—works well in this stew, which tastes even better the next day. It's a lovely main dish option for a vegan Thanksgiving table, though you can make it any time you crave something hearty and warming.  Cranberry-Orange Sauce is a perfect accompaniment.

      Do you cook the sweet potatoes first? 20 min seems a bit short to cook them

      Sandy, I don't think the author of this recipe intended for the sweet potatoes to be pre-cooked. If they're diced or chopped, 20 - 25 minutes seems about right.
