Description
Chakalaka in green beans, cut into small pieces.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 large onion, chopped for 2.5 cups
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 green chillis, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced for 1.5 cups
- 1 handful green beans, cut into small pieces for 1 cup
- 2 large carrots, diced and grated for 2 cups
- 2 large tomatoes, diced for 2.5 cups worth
- 1 15 oz can (425g) of cooked cannelloni beans
- 2 tablespoons tomato puree
- 1 handful fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoons white pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
Instructions
- Heat a large stockpot with the coconut oil. Once hot, add the onions, garlic, and chilis
- Once the onions appear slightly translucent and to have “sweated” a bit, add the green beans and bell pepper to the stockpot and stir around
- After 1-2 minutes, add the carrots and the spices (white pepper, paprika, thyme, and curry powder). Add a small splash of water if the pot seems too dry, but otherwise stir the spice mixture thoroughly throughout the ingredients. Let simmer for 5 minutes together
- After 5 minutes, add the tomatoes and tomato puree and stir thoroughly. Cook for another 2 minutes
- Finally, add the beans and incorporate well into the tomato mixture. After ~3 minutes of simmering together, take off the heat. Chakalaka can be served both cold and hot, depending on your preference
