Why These Ingredients
Common Mistakes, Notes, Prep in Advance, Storage, Swaps & Tips
Notes:
- Bloom the tomato paste in the oil for 1–2 minutes before adding liquid — this deepens the flavor significantly.
- Cut vegetables to a similar size so they cook at the same rate.
Storage:
- Fridge for up to 4 days. Freezes well for up to 3 months. Flavor improves the next day.
Swaps:
- Add white beans or chickpeas for extra protein.
- Swap potatoes for sweet potatoes or turnip.
Tips:
- Serve with crusty bread or basmati rice to soak up the rich tomato broth.
