Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 large purple potato cooked until tender, then cubed
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 red onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped fine
3 tablespoons fresh chopped ginger
2 tablespoons red curry paste or substitute a high-quality curry powder
1 small habanero pepper (optional)
2 bay leaves
3/4 cup diced red pepper
3/4 cup diced yellow pepper
3/4 cup diced zucchini
3/4 cup diced yellow squash
1 cup diced fresh pineapple
1 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In a saucepot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add red onion, garlic and ginger, stirring continuously so as not to burn. After 2 minutes add the curry paste, habanero and bay leaves until well incorporated. Add peppers and stir again cooking for 2 minutes. Add zucchini and squash and cook for another 2 minutes. The mixture should be well coated at this point. If it starts to burn, lower the heat and add a little water to stop the burning on the bottom of the pan. Add the coconut milk and cilantro. Salt and pepper to taste. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, for at least a 1/2 hour, stirring occasionally.
  • During the cooking process you can adjust the balance of moisture by adding water or coconut milk so the consistency stays stew like. Adjust the salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve over rice.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups chopped onions
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cups chopped cabbage
1 fresh chile, minced (seeded for a milder "hot"), or 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger root
2 cups water
3 cups diced sweet potatoes, cut into 1/2inch cubes
Salt to taste
2 cups undrained chopped fresh or canned tomatoes
2 cups fresh or frozen sliced okra
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Chopped peanuts
Sprigs of cilantro (optional)

Steps:

  • In a nonreactive soup pot, saute the onions in the oil on medium heat for 4 or 5 minutes. Add the cabbage and the chile or cayenne and continue to saute, stirring often, until the onions are translucent, about 8 minutes.
  • Add the grated ginger and the water, cover the pot, and bring to a boil. Stir in the sweet potatoes, sprinkle with salt, and simmer for 5 or 6 minutes, until the potatoes are barely tender. Add the tomatoes, okra, and lime juice. Simmer until all of the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in the cilantro and add more salt to taste.
  • Sprinkle the stew with chopped peanuts. Top with a few sprigs of cilantro, if you like.
