Coconut and Burnt Onion Celery Stew

 I made a simple stew comprising half a sliced onion, sliced celery sticks, thinly chopped carrots, half a can of chick peas and half a can of green peas. Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a pan then add the onions … soften … add the celery … soften … add the carrot. Then add the chick peas and peas and simmer until the carrots are cooked to your liking. I added a small packet of Thai stew made from plants.

Once cooked, I set this aside for a couple of hours to let the flavours develop.

Meanwhile, I thinly sliced half an onion a fried it in a small amount of oil until it was heavily caramalised.

Return the stew to the heat and add coconut milk to create a a runny sauce that you will now reduce to your preferred consistency.

Serve your stew with mashed potatoes or rice or buckwheat. Sprinkle the onions on your potatoes and the stew.
