Ingredients

Scale
  • 450 g white cabbage (or pointed cabbage)
  • 250 g carrots (about 3 to 4 carrots)
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 150 g onions (1 to 2 onions)
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 4 tablespoons oil
  • 1 can kidney beans (about 265 g drained weight)
  • 1 small can corn (about 140 g drained weight)
  • 100 g creamy peanut butter
  • 1 bottle crushed tomatoes (about 700 g / 700 ml)
  • 200 g mango juice (or passion fruit juice)
  • 1 tablespoon sweet paprika powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 small pinch cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable broth powder (2 x 15 g = 30 g)
  • 1 teaspoon medium hot mustard

Instructions

  1. Preparation of ingredients (10 minutes): Wash and chop the vegetables. Cut the white cabbage into fine strips, the carrots into thin slices, the bell pepper into cubes, and chop the onions and garlic into small pieces. This ensures even cooking and an appealing appearance.
  2. Sauté vegetables (10 minutes): Heat 4 tablespoons of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are translucent. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it will become bitter.
  3. Add cabbage and vegetables (10 minutes): Add the white cabbage, carrots, and bell pepper to the pot. Stir everything well and let the vegetables sauté for 5-7 minutes until they become slightly soft. The vegetables should take on a nice color.
  4. Add remaining ingredients (15 minutes): Add the crushed tomatoes, mango juice, kidney beans, corn, peanut butter, and spices (paprika, cumin, thyme, cayenne pepper, and vegetable broth) to the pot. Stir everything well so that the peanut butter is evenly distributed.
  5. Let simmer (30 minutes): Allow the stew to simmer on low heat for about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. The stew is ready when the vegetables are soft and the flavors have developed beautifully. You can dilute the stew with a little water or vegetable broth if it becomes too thick.

Nutrition

Keywords: Be careful not to sauté the vegetables too long; they should remain crisp to preserve texture and nutrients. You can prepare the vegetables in advance to shorten the cooking time on the day of cooking.
