Boil ten minutes, and skim the foam

This is one of my favourite stew, so it's filing and it's good, but I never tried freezing it so I don't know how well it'll work!. It does keep for a couple of days so I usually make a batch (it serves 3-4) and put those that I haven't eat in the fridge and just reheat later!.

Cooking time, some 20-30 minutes but really there's no need to even stand by it at all time!. It's mostly simmering time, so you can do other stuff at the same time!.

What I also love about this recipe is the flexibility one have in terms of ingredients used!. You don’t need to put the vegetables that I mentioned above but substitute them with others such as sweet potato, mushroom, celery, aubergine/eggplant, etc!. The spices used can be swapped around too but I find this combination to be my favourite!.
