▶️ RECIPE INGREDIENTS LIST: (3 to 4 servings)
3 Tablespoon Olive Oil
225g / 2 cups Onion – sliced
1+1/2 Tablespoon Garlic – finely chopped
1 Tablespoon Ginger – finely chopped
2 Tablespoon Tomato Paste
1+1/2 Teaspoon Paprika (NOT SMOKED)
1+1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
1/2 Teaspoon Turmeric
1+1/2 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (Optional)
200g Tomatoes – Blend to a smooth Puree (after being pureed 1 to 1+1/4 Cup approximately)
200g / 1+1/2 cup approx. Carrots – chopped
200g / 1+1/2 cup Red bell pepper approx. – chopped
2 cups / 225g Yellow (Yukon Gold) Potatoes approx. – chopped small (1/2 inch pieces)
4 cups / 900ml Vegetable Broth (Low Sodium)
Salt to taste (I have added total 1/4 +1 Teaspoon of Pink Himalayan salt)
250g / 2 cups approx. Zucchini – chopped (1/2 inch pieces)
120g / 1 cup approx. Green beans – chopped (1 inch long)
2 cups / 1 (540ml) Can – Cooked Chickpeas (drained)
1/2 cup / 20g Fresh Parsley (loosely packed)
👉 Garnish:
Lemon Juice to taste (I have added 1 teaspoon lemon juice)
Drizzle of olive oil (I have added 1/2 tablespoon organic cold pressed Olive oil)
▶️ METHOD:
Start by blending the tomatoes to a smooth puree. Prep the vegetables and set aside.
To a heated pan add the olive oil, onion, 1/4 teaspoon salt. Sweat the onions on medium heat until it’s soft. It will take about 3 to 4 minutes. Adding salt to onion will release it’s moisture and help it cook faster so please don’t skip it. Note we are NOT browning the onions here.
Once the onions are soft, add the chopped garlic and ginger and fry for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add the tomato paste, paprika, ground cumin, turmeric, black pepper, cayenne pepper and fry for 30 seconds. Now add the fresh tomato puree and mix well. Add the chopped carrots, red bell pepper, yellow potatoes, salt, vegetable broth and mix well. Turn up the heat. Cover and bring to a vigorous boil. Once it starts to boil, give it a mix and cover the lid. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for about 20 minutes. This will allow the potatoes to cook a bit, before we add the quick cooking vegetables to it.
After 20 minutes, uncover and add the zucchini, green beans, cooked chickpeas, parsley and mix well. Now turn up the heat and bring it to a rapid simmer. Once it starts to simmer, cover the lid and cook on medium heat (DO NOT COOK ON LOW HEAT AT THIS POINT) for about 10 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked to your liking. COOK UNITL THE VEGETABLES ARE SOFT, but at the same time don’t let it get too mushy.
Uncover and turn the heat to medium high and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes or to the desired consistency. PLEASE NOTE – THIS STEW IS NOT SUPPOSE TO BE WATERY. It’s more towards the thicker consistency. Turn off the heat. Garnish with fresh lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil and some chopped fresh parsley. Mix well.
Serve hot with some pita and couscous.
▶️ IMPORTANT NOTES:
👉 Adding salt while frying the vegetables will release it’s moisture and help it cook faster so please don’t skip it
👉 Every stove is different so regulate the heat as required. Cooking time and intensity of heat may vary depending on the type of stove you are using
