Spicy pea stew with smoked tofu (vegan)

Ingredients for about 4 people:

about 300 g dried peas
250 g potatoes
1 leek
250 g carrots
1 stick of celery
1 onion
1 clove of garlic
a few coriander seeds
1 pack of smoked tofu
1 tablespoon coconut oil
smoked paprika
savory
thyme
cumin
chilli flakes
ginger powder
a good 1 litre vegetable stock
1 bay leaf
tamari or shoyu
herb salt
freshly ground black pepper
In addition:
a little soy cream

Method:

1. For the pea stew, wash the dried peas thoroughly under running water using a sieve and leave to soak in fresh water overnight. The next day, once they have swollen, drain off the soaking water and then cook the dried peas – depending on the variety – for about 1 hour, i.e. until they are soft.
2. In the meantime, scrub the potatoes with a vegetable brush, trim if necessary, and dice.
3. Trim and wash the leek, then cut into thick rings.
4. Scrub the carrots with a vegetable brush, trim and dice.
5. Wash and trim the celery stalks, then cut them into rough strips.
6. Peel and finely chop the onion.
7. Peel the garlic, remove the central germ, then finely chop the garlic.
8. Crush the coriander seeds in a mortar.
9. Drain the smoked tofu and cut it into rough cubes.
10. Heat the coconut oil in a deep saucepan and gently fry the diced onion with the crushed coriander seeds.
11. Add the smoked tofu, chopped garlic, smoked paprika, savory, thyme, cumin, chilli flakes and ginger powder, and continue to fry the mixture.
12. Add the cooked dried peas along with the potatoes, carrots, celery, leek and bay leaf, mix briefly whilst stirring, then deglaze with the vegetable stock.
13. Leave to simmer for about 20–25 minutes.
14. Remove the bay leaf and season to taste with the tamari or shoyu, herb salt and freshly ground black pepper.
15. Serve in soup bowls and finish with a dash of soy cream.

My tips:

- You can also prepare a larger portion. When reheated, the stew tastes even more flavourful.
- This recipe can also be made with other dried pulses

Product description:

Organic shops mainly stock yellow or green dried peas. However, white, brown, grey, red, purple and marbled varieties are also available. Unpeeled varieties have the advantage of being particularly high in fibre. They are also available in a peeled form, as this makes them cook faster and makes them easier to digest. Dried peas, which can be bought split or halved, are sold as split or half peas. They are rich in protein and fibre. They are mostly used in soups, stews and purées. However, there are many other Middle Eastern recipes in which you can enjoy them.

Product description:

The orange is the fruit of the evergreen orange tree and is the most commonly grown citrus fruit worldwide. It has many culinary uses: as freshly squeezed orange juice, in fruit salads, jams, cakes, desserts and much more. The fruits ripen for several months before they are harvested. The white layer, the mesocarp, between the flesh and the peel, contains valuable secondary plant substances. There are different varieties of oranges, e.g. the navel orange, which is seedless and easy to peel. Or the Valencia orange, which has distinctive red flesh and a unique flavour.

Gewierztenen Pastinaken-Süβkartoffel-Eintopf mat Belugalënsen

Tags: Suppen – Pastinaken – Süsskartoffeln – Linsen – vegan

Zutaten für 4 Personen:

200 g Belugalinsen

600 g Pastinaken

600 g Süβkartoffeln

2 Zwiebeln

3 Knoblauchzehen

1 Stück Ingwer

Sesamöl

Kardamomsamen

Koriandersamen

Kreuzkümmel

Currypulver

Paprikapulver

etwa ½ l Gemüsebrühe

400 ml Kokosmilch

Kräutersalz

frisch gemahlener schwarzer Pfeffer

Zubereitung:

Für den Eintopf die Belugalinsen abwaschen und mit reichlich frischem Wasser in einen Topf geben und etwa 20 Minuten bissfest garen. Danach abgiessen und beiseite stellen.
Die Pastinaken waschen, putzen, ggf. schälen und in Würfel schneiden.
Die Süβkartoffeln waschen, schälen und ebenfalls in Würfel schneiden.
Die Zwiebeln schälen und fein würfeln.
Den Knoblauch schälen, Mittelkeim entfernen und fein hacken.
Den Ingwer waschen, fein reiben oder hacken.
In einer tiefen Pfanne das Sesamöl erhitzen und die fein gewürfelten Zwiebeln mit dem feingehacktem Knoblauch und Ingwer hineingeben und anrösten.
Danach den Kardamom-, die Koriandersamen mit dem Kreuzkümmel und dem Curry-, Paprikapulver dazugeben, ebenfalls mit anrösten.
Die gewürfelten Pastinaken und Süβkartoffeln hinzugeben und kurz anbraten.
Das Ganze mit der Gemüsebrühe ablöschen und zum Kochen bringen. Etwa 10 Minuten lang köcheln lassen.
Die vorgekochten Belugalinsen mit der Kokosmilch hinzugeben und weitere 5 Minuten köcheln lassen.
Zum Schluss mit Kräutersalz und frisch gemahlenem schwarzem Pfeffer kräftig würzen.

Meine Tipps:

Wer keine Süβkartoffeln vorrätig hat, kann den Eintopf auch mit Kartoffeln zubereiten.
Da es viele Linsenvarianten gibt, nimmt man die Linsen die einem am besten schmecken ;-). Nur die roten Linsen brauch man nicht vor zu kochen, sondern 5 Minuten vor Ende der Garzeit in den Eintopf geben.

Produktbeschreibung:

Süβkartoffeln, Batate sind nicht wie die Kartoffeln ein Nachtschattengewächs, sondern die Süβkartoffeln sind ein Windengewächs und gehören somit zu einer ganz anderen botanischen Familie. Sie enthalten viele Vitalstoffe, d.h. Vitamine, Mineralien, Spurenelemente und sekundäre Pflanzenstoffe, die positive Auswirkungen auf unsere Gesundheit haben. Ihre rosarote bis gelborange oder sogar violette Färbung verdankt die Batate bestimmten sekundären Pflanzenstoffen. Sie lässt sich in unzähligen Varianten zubereiten – roh, gekocht, gegrillt oder als Pommes.

You can also substitute diced kohlrabi or turnip for the Brussels sprouts.

Product description:

Brussels sprouts, like all other types of cabbage, are full of nutrients such as vitamins, phytochemicals and minerals. Brussels sprouts and other varieties are a good source of vitamin C. However, not everyone tolerates cabbage equally well – bloating in particular can be an unpleasant but harmless side effect. There is an effective way to counteract this, as various spices such as thyme, caraway and fennel make cabbage easier to digest.
