Vegetable Stew


Ingredients (use vegan versions):


  • 1 small eggplant
  • 1/2 butternut squash (or "pumkin" for the Aussies on the list!)
  • 1 medium potato
  • 1 each red and green bell pepper (capsicum)
  • heaping huge spoonful (according to taste) cooked onions*
  • 1 can tomatoes and juice
  • splash vegan red wine
  • splash balsamic vinegar
  • veggie stock cube
  • few cloves crushed garlic
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder


Directions:



Cut up the veggies into chunks of roughly the same size, and cook
over medium high heat in a non-stick skillet (no need to spray!)


I tossed everything around in the skillet for a while, then chucked
it into a casserole dish in the oven on medium-ish heat for 45
minutes while we went out for our pre-dinner walk. You can adjust
the seasonings to your own taste.


I served this over rice steamed with a small handful of sultanas
(golden raisins), and it was delicious.


*About the onions. I think onions make anything taste a little more
delicious, so as often as I need to, I get a couple of pounds (a kilo)
of onions, slice them up in the food processor, put them into the
non-stick skillet with just a little veggie stock (adding more as needed
to stop sticking) over a medium heat, not stirring too often, for about
an hour. After a while, they do stick a bit, and that's a great time
to splash in a little vegan red wine or balsamic vinegar to deglaze the pan.
Then let them cook a little longer, until they have a beautiful
caramel color and delicious, rich aroma. I keep them stored in the
fridge and add them to anything and everything. There's nothing like
them on a veggie pizza to make you forget they don't make ff cheese
in Australia (yet)
