Vegetable Domoda

Domoda is a Gambian peanut stew, which is awesome with chicken or beef but I decided to go veggie this time. It generally involves sweet potato or pumpkin, but the cauliflower is my own addition just because I love cauliflower!

Ingredients (serves 3)
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
250g (approx) sweet potato, peeled and chopped
250g (approx) cauliflower, broken into florets
2 medium tomatoes, diced
3 tbsp tomato puree
1 or more chopped red chillies, according to taste
100g unsweetened peanut butter
1 vegetable stock cube
1 tsp sunflower oil

* heat the oil in a large pan or wok and fry the onion until golden
* add the garlic and tomato and cook for 2 or 3 more minutes
* add the tomato puree, peanut butter and chilli. Stir in to combine then add about 400ml of water and the stock cube
* bring to the boil then add the sweet potato and cauliflower, then reduce heat and simmer from 45 minutes or until the vegetables are cooked
* serve with rice

Sweet potato hash

Found this idea on a website called nomnompaleo and thought it looked well worth a try.

Ingredients (serves 1)
1 sweet potato
1 clove garlic
1/2 small onion
Salt/pepper
Oil spray

* finely chop the onion and garlic
* cut the sweet potato into little sticks. I used the julienne blade on my mandolin. Mix the potato with the onion and garlic and season well
* heat a couple of sprays of oil in a pan and fry the potato mixture over a medium-high heat for a few minutes 
* put a lid on the pan and cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the potato has softened.

I had it as a side dish with a couple of sausages and some steamed veg.
