Ingredients
1. 8 tablespoons of organic tomato paste
2. 2 medium onions, cut into 1″ sections
3. 4 stalks of celery, cut into 1″ sections
4. 1 cup of sweet peppers cut into rings/slices
5. 1/8 cup minced garlic
6. 4 tablespoons of Arizona Dreaming spice mix from Penzey’s (ordinarily I would break it down for you, but its awesome, you should go to their website and buy some just for this recipe. I get nothing for saying this, but maybe if a ton of people buy it I might, you never know).
7. 2 cups vegetable stock
8. Enough salt to taste it. You decide how much you want in there during the last step. It will vary depending upon how much salt is in your vegetable stock.
9. 2 large, peeled and cubed into 1″ sections sweet potatoes. Boil these with salt and set aside when finished.
Recipe
1. Put the onions, celery, peppers and garlic into a pan and sweat until soft.
2. Add the spice, stir well, put heat to medium and lid for 10 minutes.
3. Position self directly over the pot, remove lid, be in heaven for 8-12 seconds, then add the vegetable stock, relid for 20 minutes. Here is where you add the salt, after the 20 minutes. You want it to seem slightly too salty. If you think it’s too salty, its perfect. If you are not sure, add more salt. Keep in mind that most tomato paste is not salted, so you want to have enough to carry over. If you try to add it afterwards, it will not be as good.
4. Add the tomato paste, stir well, it will be thick.
5. Pour this over the sweet potatoes. You can add cheese, but you won’t need it. You can add yogurt, but you won’t need it either.
