West African-inspired peanut, tomato, and pineapple soup/stew - a flavorful and delicious combination.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup dried pineapple pieces
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 0.5 sweet onion, chopped
- 1 stalk celery, chopped
- 1 leek, chopped
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.75 cup peanut butter
- 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 3 cups water
- 0.25 cup minced green onion
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
Instructions:
- Allow the dried pineapple to soften by soaking it in a bowl of water for a minimum of 30 minutes, then drain.
- In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Sauté sweet onion, celery, and leek until tender, about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Season vegetables generously with a blend of curry powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, and salt. Stir well to ensure every piece is coated. Continue cooking and stirring until a tantalizing aroma fills the kitchen, around 4 minutes.
- - Stir peanut butter into the pot. Drain half the tomato juice and discard, then pour tomatoes and remaining juice into the pot. Cook until tomatoes soften, around 5 minutes. Add 3 cups water and drained pineapple to the pot.
- After bringing the mixture to a gentle boil, lower the heat to medium-low and let the soup simmer for 1 hour. Then, swirl in the cream, green onion, and garlic to enhance the flavors.
