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.

Awesome Autumn Stew

The time of heartwarming stews is upon us. Autumn is here! We really enjoy earthy and rooty meals this time of year. Here is on of our favorites to be had when wind and rain smack the windows.

  1. prepare potatoes (I water them to wash out some starch)
  2. prepare carrots
  3. prepare some green vegetables like broccoli and/or green peas
  4. mince chilli and garlic
  5. braise chilli and garlic in a little (1 teaspoon) oil
  6. deglaze with Passata Rustica
  7. add vegetable broth (1/2 to 1 litre)
  8. add rinsed potatoes and vegetables
  9. boil for 20-30 minutes or until potatoes are done
  10. season with soy sauce, peanut paste and cinnamon
  11. add oat creme if not moist enough
  12. serve with sweet pepper powder and/or tumeric on top

The peanut/cinnamon combo is a little exotic but goes really well with the earthen roots like potato and carrot. Sweetpotato would propably fit in there well too.
