| NOTES ON PREP |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| When working the recipe up for 15, 500g of any of the veg was approximately equal to a pint glass full. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| One serving was approx 3 ladels full, it is quite filling so maybe 2 ladels with a side dish |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Pumpkin or squash is also good as a chunky veg in there |
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Prepare all the vegetables |
|
|

|
|
| Fry fine cut onion, carrots, celery, yam, scotch bonnets, garlic and thyme in oil until soft |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Add the polenta flour and stir to soak up any excess oil |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Add passata and water, then slowly bring to just below the boil |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Add creamed coconut and stir until it dissolves |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Add chunky veg and cook on low heat, or turn gas off and leave it to residual heat |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| When the chunky veg if cooked, add drained red kidney beans (and a few handfuls of chopped spinach, if available) |
