Instruction

  • Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a large pot oven a medium heat. Add the butternut squash and cook for 10 minutes. Pierce the scotch bonnet and add to the pot, if the stew gets too spicy at any point then remove the pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes.

  • Add the cumin, tomato puree, peanut butter, vegetable stock and black eye beans. Bring to the boil then reduce to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
