A simple dish asking for simple ingredients, but with the humble list of spices it turns into a delightful stew!
I served it with spinach paratha on the side and it worked a treat! I also had a leftover avocado to be used, but you can easily swap this for a courgette or something else really!
Fragrant Sweet Potato & Tomato Stew
(Serves 2)
70g quick-wholemeal rice, cooked
1 onion, chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 medium avocado or small courgette, diced
1 sweet potato, peeled and diced
200ml chopped tomatoes
300ml vegetable stock
1 tsp Garam masala
100g spinach
- If the rice isn't cooked, start by doing this. Drain and set aside.
- In a medium large casserole, heat up the oil on medium heat and soften the onion. After about 5 minutes, add the sweet potato, cumin, cinnamon and garam masala and stir for about a minute.
- Now add all the ingredients but the spinach. Cook covered, for about 15 minutes until the sweet potato is tender.
- Last but not least, add the spinach and cover for about a minute. Now, stir the stew until the wilted spinach is well incorporated into the stew.
Serve with good bread on the side!
Yesterday, after a day of running all sorts of important errands in town (OK, not THAT many, but more than one counts as a few at least), a dear friend and I went to visit another lovely lady who cooked up a storm for us! I brought some honey nut snack marbles to have as a light dessert, whilst we were having a little Easter craft night, including watching Black Books, aka being distracted by the show non-stop, I mean, how could you not? It is the best show!
Despite this, I managed to make a little egg-cosy, his name is Ludvik and he is showing off his new Easter shower towel.
I hope you have a lovely Thursday! Any plans?

ReplyDeleteAlso, what sort of turn? You are making me worried :( But everything will be alright (just adding more support and good energy vibes your way :p)
Hi!
DeleteHaha, I just remember in primary school that we sometimes made egg cosies (I do not however, recall ever using them :P) but this looks like it was made by a youngster really :P T'was funfun!
Oh, the work situation is sorted out now, I landed a new job that I am started next week, so all is well! It has just been a very silver-lining week with ups and downs of all kinds, thank you so much though :) Good energy vibes has definitely helped as this Friday has probably been the best one so far this year! I hope you have an amazing weekend Cathleen xx
OMG! I am so glad! I was worried! Congrats on the new job! And have an amazing week ahead :)
DeleteAwh! It always seems to work out last minute if anything, thanks again :) This week so far has been great! I hope yours has been as well xx
DeleteMmm, så mange deilige smaker!!
ReplyDeleteNå er det lenge siden jeg har fått oppdatert meg på blogger. Har hatt så mye å gjøre, med yogaweekend og kurs og alt. Nå var det koselig å sette seg ned litt og få med seg hva andre har postet de siste dagene :)
Jeg håper du har hatt en fin helg. Klem
Hei kjære og god søndag! Og vel overstått kurs :) For yoga'en går vel av seg selv du som er så dreven ;)
DeleteDenne gryten var kjempegod, også er det bra når det ikke er så altfor mange ingredienser involvert ^ ^
Det har vært en turbulent uke her også, men i morgen begynner jeg kurs i en ny stilling som jeg fikk tidligere denne uken, gleder meg!
Ha en kjempefin natt, og en god start på uken :) xx
