This colourful, soupy, stew is made from using harissa. It is available in tubes in most supermarkets - just like tomato puree. Serve with steamed couscous to soak up all the delicious soupy juices.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, roughly chopped
3 garlic cloves, crushed
400 g chopped tomatoes
2 tablespoons harissa
1 cinnamon stick
1 liter vegetable stock
2 large potatoes, cut into wedges
450 g pumpkin, cut into wedges, skinned and seeded
150 g baby corn
150 g sugar snap peas
300 g cherry tomatoes
2 tablespoons cornflour
50 g chopped fresh mint
50 g chopped fresh coriander
salt & freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
1. Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the onions for 4-5 minutes over a low heat until softened. Add the garlic, chopped tomatoes, harissa, cinnamon and stock. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes.
2. Stir in the potatoes and bring back to the boil. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the pumpkin and baby corn, cover and cook for a further 5 minutes. Add the sugar snap peas and cherry tomatoes and simmer for 5 minutes until the tomatoes just start to collapse.
3. Mix the cornflour to a smooth paste with 4 tbsp of water and stir into the stew. Bring to the boil, stirring until thickened. Discard the cinnamon stick and scatter over the herbs. Season to taste.
