These are the base of the recipe, you can adjust the quantities as you like.
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil I use sunflower or avocado oil
- 2 medium size onions
- 2 medium size potatoes
- 1-2 beets
- 1-2 carrots depending on the size
- 3-5 garlic cloves we like garlic, so we use it a lot
- 2 tomatoes
- 1/2 small cabbage
These are optional, but highly recommended :)
- 1 sweet pepper we like using red or orange to add a splash of a colour
- 1 eggplant
- 1-2 parsnips
- 1-2 celery stalks
Spices - these are a must! :)
- 1-2 tbsp salt and a pinch of pepper
- 1 teaspoon cumin and coriander seeds! we add both ground and whole seeds
Cut and slice all the vegetables. Have them ready by your side. Turn the heat under the pot to medium and start layering the veggies starting with onions and tomatoes going to the top. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 15 minutes on the low/medium heat. In 15 minutes, mix the vegetables, check potatoes, and if they are ready, or almost ready, turn off the heat. Cover the pot again and let it sit for another 3-5 minutes. Enjoy!
