Notes

  • Recipe researched using Patricia Thabile Nyathi, Ardie’s Kitchen, Liziwe Matloha, Tintswalomore1, Mphos_Kitchen
  • Recipe Copyright The Foreign Fork. For educational or personal use only.
  • Produce: White onion, Garlic, Yellow bell pepper, Red bell pepper, Green bell pepper
  • Seasonings: Curry Powder, Paprika, Oregano
  • Complete Seasoning: Complete seasoning is an all-purpose seasoning that contains salt, black pepper, cumin, and many other spices. If you do not have complete seasoning you can easily mix up your own or use a different all-purpose seasoning. There are so many variations of this dish that you can’t go wrong!
  • Grated Carrots: Make sure to grate your carrots as they will have a much better texture than store-bought matchstick carrots.Baked Beans: You could substitute a can of pinto beans or white beans but the baked beans add a touch of sweetness and brown sugar that is delicious and really a key part of this recipe.
  • Sweet Chili Sauce: Some recipes use this while others do not. It is up to you!
  • This recipe is easily adaptable. You can make it vegetarian by making sure your baked beans are vegetarian. Many recipes call for cayenne pepper or chili pepper flakes for added spice or tomato sauce for extra broth. Feel free to play around with what you add to make it your own.
