  • 2 heads broccoli (about 3 cups of florets)
  • bicarbonate of soda

Instructions

  • Learn how to cook quinoa

sauteed broccoli

  • Clean your veggies
  • Get the broccoli florets, keep the stems to make a broth
  • In a pan, add oil and broccoli at the same time and put heat on
  • Sprinkle with some salt and a dust of bicarbonate of soda
  • Sautee the broccoli in medium-high heat for about 5 mins
  • Add 2 grated cloves of garlic and cut off the heat. Keep the sauteed broccoli aside

Make the sweet potato chili

  • Dice the tomatoes and keep aside
  • Chop the onions, grate the turmeric, ginger, and 2 cloves of garlic
  • In a pan bring the onion and oil and cook for 4 mins
  • During that time, peel and dice sweet potato
  • Add grated garlic-turmeric combo and stir
  • Add the sweet potato into the onions, stir and cover to cook for 2 mins stirring now and then
  • Bring in the tomatoes, stir well and cover to cook for 5 mins then stir
  • Add spices, again stir
  • Add the broth and bring to boil and cook for 10 mins

  • Thank you so much for being here, enjoy your sweet potato chili and please share it out

Notes

  • Bicarbonate of soda will help the broccoli to cook fast and retain their color
  • Make sure to add just a little amount and don't over sautee the broccoli, otherwise, they will lose their texture and become too soft
  • I use the bicarbonate in powder form
  • If you end up with some chili leftovers, just store them in a closed container in the fridge up to 4 days.

    How much Turmeric? How much Ginger?? Is it written somewhere and I missed it? Regardless it should say the amount in the list of ingredients.

      Hi Bruce, I really appreciate your visit and observation. I normally leave it to people to decide how much ginger they want to use as too little can be not enough for some while others prefer just a little piece. As for turmeric, I use a whole root. I just corrected the amount, I thank you for this. Just to note, I use fresh ginger & turmeric roots. Many blessings to you.
