I was looking at the community forums when I read the question - favorite comfort foods. This is my favorite comfort food - so I thought I'd better include the recipe for you all to try. I actually found it but I've altered the ingredients a bit so it's easier to make and to my liking. We eat this at least once a week as a main course. Ingredients:
2 medium onions, chopped |
6 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
2 (400 g) cans chopped tomatoes |
5 cups vegetable broth |
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce |
2 mint tea bags |
1 teaspoon chili powder, hot or 1 tablespoon chili powder, mild |
2 teaspoons ground cumin |
1 3/4 teaspoons sea salt |
1/8 teaspoon paprika |
2 cups finely chopped spinach |
3/4 cup smooth peanut butter |
6 medium pita bread, toasted |
Directions:
1. Combine onions, garlic and olive oil in a large stockpot and cook till onions soft.
2. Stir in tomatoes, broth, tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, salt, paprika, and let the mint tea seep in at the side. Simmer 10-12 minutes.
3. Add the spinach and peanut butter and let cook until everything is well combined like another 10 minutes (this is necessary especially if you used frozen spinach - I usually do).
4. Ladle into bowls and serve with warmed pitas.
