Cabbage Peanut Stew

If you have made the famous CaWaSa recently, you will probably have 1/2 white cabbage sitting in the fridge. Do not despair! Here comes a recipe to aid you with that.

  1. prepare 1/2 white cabbage by cutting off thin slices
  2. dice 2 carrots
  3. dice 1 red bell pepper, 1 onion, 2 cloves of garlic and 1 red chilli
  4. sauté bell pepper, onion, garlic and chili in a big pot until glazed
  5. add mustard (1 tablespoon), cumin (1 tablespoon) and sauté for 1 more minute
  6. add sieved tomatoes (400gr), vegetable broth (250ml), cabbage and carrots
  7. simmer for 20 minutes
  8. add peanut butter (4 tablespoons) and paprika powder (1/2 teaspoon)
  9. add kidney beans (1 can) and sweet corn (1 can)
  10. season with mango juice
  11. stir well and serve with black rice

This is an extremely nutritous and satiating stew without compromising in exotic deliciousness. I prefer this meal extra hot to get my insides warmed up. Fun fact: peanuts are legumes, not nuts, and laden with protein and many vitamines and minerals.

Sunset In A Bowl

Pumpkins everywhere! This is a spicy and colorful soup begging to be brought into existence.

  1. prepare 1 Hokkaido to get 2x2cm pieces – you do not have to peel it, just scrape off the hard bumps
  2. prepare 1 pound of carrots to match pumpkin pieces in size
  3. chop 1 red onion, garlic (2 cloves), ginger (1 tablespoon) and chili to taste
  4. braise onion, garlic, ginger and chili in a big pot with little (1 teaspoon) oil
  5. deglaze with Balsamico vinegar
  6. add pumpkin and carrots
  7. add vegetable broth (1 litre)
  8. boil for 25 minutes
  9. blend with immersion blender until smooth
  10. season with soy sauce, coconut milk (400ml) and lemon juice

While this soup will make your whole family flock to your place, it is also a great base to refine your seasoning skills. You can experiment with different spices like pepper, cumin, cinnamon, turmeric or peanut paste to make it taste even more sophisticated.
