Stew
Recipe based of a Tesco or Interspar pre-packaged selection of vegetables.
With Thanks to Aki.
Ingredients:
(for quantities of each item add as much as you feel, exceptions mentioned)
Red Onion
Garlic (just enough to make sure all the other flavours are at their best)
Fresh Ginger (generous amount)
Carrot
Sweet Potato
Potato
Turnip
Kidney Beans (Canned)
Rosemary
Salt
Equal amounts water and apple cider. (Slightly more water.)
Pumpkin Seeds
(Can add, hot Hungarian pepper, black pepper (or rose pepper), and ground paprika at your discretion. Can thicken sauce.)
Method:
Fry onions. Once onions begin to brown add garlic and ginger (chopped). Once cooked add salt, water and cider[1]. Add chopped vegetables to the broth (in order of time needed to cook). Add sprig of rosemary and cook until ready. Add canned kidney beans.
Serve with a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds and dark bread (with butter) and enjoy.
[1] I don’t know if in the case of this soup the alcohol in the cider cooks off or it is a case similar to that of mulled wine, where the cooking process makes the alcohol stronger.
