Mozambique Vegetable Stew
Delicious African Style Vegan Veggie Dish
A friend from Mozambique made this delish dish for us one night. He never follows a recipe, or makes the same thing twice, but we figured it out and I wrote it down for you to enjoy.
Our friend doesn't believe in overcooking food. So this recipe is quick to make - the secret is to chop the veggies small. If you like your veggies uncrunchy, just cook until it seems right to you.
Serves four: The result is rich, spicy, excellent with rice, quinoa, or bread.
