Equipment

  • Large Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 onions roughly chopped
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 3 carrots
  • 2 bell peppers seeded and diced
  • 6 ounces tomato paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon coriander
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoons turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder or curry paste
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 4 cups water
  • Cilantro & crushed peanuts to garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic, and sauté for 5 to 6 minutes until vegetables have begin to soften. Add the carrot, bell pepper, tomato paste, and stir.
  • Now for the spices: add the salt, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, curry powder, and black pepper. Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, stir in the peanut butter, stir, and reduce to a low simmer and gently cook for 45 minutes until all vegetables are softened.
  • With your immersion handheld blender, partially blend the sauce (or transfer 1/4 of the sauce to a stand blender), and leave the rest chunky. Stir in cooked protein now, if desired. Add fresh chopped cilantro, crushed peanuts for garnish, and enjoy!
