VEGETABLE STEW RECIPE.

Ingredients:
• 5 bunch of pumpkin leaves (Ugu)
• Tomatoes and peppers mix (5 plum tomatoes, 2 red bell peppers/tatashe, 3 shombo,3-5 scotch bonnet peppers and 1 medium sized onion. Remember to adjust spice to your preference)
• 1 frozen mackerel fish (big size)
• 1 tablespoon of ginger and garlic paste
• 1 onions
• 1 cup of palm oil
• 3 tablespoon of crayfish powder
• 1 cup of chopped red bell pepper
• 2 seasoning cubes
• Salt to taste.

Directions for preparation:

1. Prep all ingredients (Cut the fish into your desired sizes, remove the insides and rinse thoroughly with water. Pluck, rinse and thinly slice the pumpkin leaves (Ugu). Remove the seeds from your bell peppers, rinse the peppers, tomatoes and onions and blend them roughly, they shouldn't be smooth.)

2. Season the fish with salt, seasoning cubes and dried pepper powder. Mix well and marinate for 15-25 minutes. When it is marinated, deep fry in vegetable oil or roast it in an oven or air fryer. When it is done, set aside.

3. Pour palm oil in a pot or pan on medium heat, allow to heat up then add onion, ginger and garlic paste. Stir fry till the onion is translucent.

4. Pour in the tomatoes and pepper mix. Stir and allow to fry for 8-10 minutes. Stir at intervals to avoid it burning.

5. Add grinded crayfish, seasoning cubes and salt. Stir well and allow to cook for 3 minutes.

6. Add the chopped pumpkin leaves (Ugu), chopped red bell pepper and onion. Cover for 30 seconds. Next, add the fried fish and mix well. Take off heat immediately so that the leaves won't over cook.

Your vegetable stew is ready! pair with white rice, boiled yam, boiled plantain or any meal of your choice.
