Since arriving in Uganda Ian has been eating less meat and experimenting more with vegetarian food. Uganda has a bountiful harvest when there's rain and a good variety of fresh vegetables are easy to come by.The spuds in the picture turned out to be really delicious. So here's the recipe.
Three large spuds, peeled and chopped into rough centimetre cubes and boiled until there's just a little bit of an edge / bite to them - drain and set aside.
Chop up a large onion and five or six cloves of garlic (coursely chopped) and brown in 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a 'heavy bottomed / non stick' pan. When brown and sizzling nicely throw in the spuds and stir for a minute, then throw in two chopped ripe tomatoes and stir some more. Now throw in 1 teaspoon of cumin powder and salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Stir thoroughly and leave to simmer with the pan covered for 5 minutes. Then remove the lid and stir some more to allow the spuds to lose excess moisture and also to begin to 'catch' and brown a bit on the pan bottom.
Delicious with green beans - boiled for just a few minutes with a pinch of salt and 'chunk' of naughty butter added. Enjoy!
