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.
