Recipe of the Week – 30th December 2019 – Caribbean Detox Hotpot


After the delights (and excesses) of the Christmas period I find I tend to crave simple healthy meals to reset the balance a bit. This low fat recipe is crammed full of great vegetables and the chilli kick also helps to wake you up a bit ready for the New Year!

Serves 6

Ingredients

1 large onion, roughly chopped

30g fresh ginger, crushed

1 tbs sunflower oil

A small bunch of coriander, finely chopped

2 tsp fresh thyme

1 large courgette, diced

1 red and 1 yellow pepper, deseeded and roughly chopped

1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced

2 carrots, peeled and diced

50g frozen sweetcorn

50g frozen mango or pineapple chunks

1 x 400g can of chopped tomatoes

A large dash of habanero sauce, to taste

600ml good quality stock from bouillon

4 tbs red wine vinegar

1 tbs Demerara sugar

Method

1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan then add the onion and ginger and simmer for 10 minutes on a low heat. Add half of the chopped coriander and thyme and stir well.

2. Add the tomatoes, stock, vinegar, habanero sauce, sugar and remaining thyme and return to a simmer for 5 minutes.

3. Add the remaining ingredients and cook slowly for 25 minutes, until soft and the sauce has begun to thicken.

4. Serve immediately with rice and peas or with flatbread.
