Caribean vegetable stew, with rice and peas
Veg box had squash, pepper and beans, and I fancied something a bit spicy, so came up with this.
Olive oil
1 onion
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 squash
Handful green beans
1 red pepper
Tin chopped tomatoes
2 tbsp peanut gravy mix
Cajun seasoning
Big handful of brown rice
Tin kidney beans
Peanuts
Lettuce
Olive oil
Balsamic vinegar
1. Put rice in vast iron pot, add drained kidney beans. Add water to 2 inches above rice and beans. Stir. Bring to the boil, cover, then transfer to an over at 150C.
2. Sautee onion and garlic until a little softenned. Then add prepared veggies. Cook for a few minutes, letting them soften.
3. Add tin of tomatoes, a tinful of water and the Cajun seasoning and peanut mix. Simmer away until rice is done - about 30 minutes.
4. Dry fry peanuts - smash up a bit in a pestle and mortar.
5. Toss lettuce in a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic.
Scoff. Delish.
Buy nothing September has not worked out quite so well, and I haven't written everything down - but I am avoiding big food shops.
