Cabbage and Peanut Stew

The combination of cabbage and peanuts might seem a strange one, but the flavours, combined with the sweetness added by the tiny bit of sugar, work well.

Ingredients:

• 1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
• 1 pointed cabbage, washed, core removed and roughly chopped
• 2 tbsp sunflower or peanut oil
• 150g roasted peanuts (not dry roasted)
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 2 tbsp white wine vinger
• 2 tbsp light soy sauce
• 300ml vegetable stock or water and a stock cube
• 2 potatoes, peeled and cut into 2 cm pieces
• 2 carrots, peeled and cut into 2 cm pieces

Method:

1. Put the onion, cabbage and oil into a large saucepan and heat over a medium heat, stirring every so often.
2. After about 5 to 10 minutes the cabbage and onion should be starting to soften.
3. Add all the other ingredients to the pan and bring to a simmer.
4. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to prevent it from burning on the bottom. If it starts to look a bit dry don't be afraid to add a bit of water.
5. Serve in bowls.
