Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp coconut oil for frying
  • 2 shallots finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 1 red pepper de-seeded and sliced
  • 1 red chilli de-seeded and diced (substitute 1 jalepeno or omit if sensitive to spice)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp cumin powder
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • 6 large fresh tomatoes stems removed and roughly chopped
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme finely chopped
  • 3 plantains sliced
  • 1 cup canned black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed 200 g
  • 1 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed 200 g
  • 3/4 cup vegetable stock 200 ml
  • juice of 1 lime
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Add 1 tbsp of coconut oil into a large pot on medium heat (use a splash of water or both to make this recipe oil-free). Add the shallots, garlic, chili, cumin, nutmeg, cinnamon and stir together, then allow to simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Now, add in the thyme, peppers, chopped tomatoes and plantain and stir to combine. Allow to cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Pour in the stock, black eyed peas, chickpeas and the juice of a lime. Simmer oven medium heat for 10-15 minutes until the plantain is tender.
  • Serve over basmati rice.
