Garlic

3 clove(s), chopped

Peppers, all types

Fresh Vegetable Stock

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the onion, celery and carrots, and cook for 5 minutes on a medium heat. Add the garlic, peppers, sweet potatoes and squash, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring. Add the spice mix, peanuts and chilli and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the stock, bring to the boil, cover and simmer gently for 12–15 minutes until all the vegetables are just tender.
  2. Put about 6 tablespoons of cooking liquor in a small bowl and mix with the peanut butter, then stir gently into the stew and simmer for 1 minute to thicken slightly. Scatter with coriander and serve with extra chopped chilli, if you like.

Notes

If you cannot find Baharat spice mix, you can use 2 teaspoons paprika, 2 teaspoons ground coriander and 1 teaspoon ground mixed spice instead.
