The Chachouka Chow Chow drew my attention, not least because I couldn’t figure out how to spell it (but the name sure is funny). Warming spices, tender, juicy peppers, the colours of Africa on your plate. Your house will smell of cumin for hours after you’ve had the last bite of your chachouka.

How To Make Chachouka Chow Chow: North African Tomato and Pepper Stew [Vegan]

  1. Heat the coconut oil in a large, deep pan.
  2. Fry the cumin seeds for a minute before adding the onion, garlic and chilli.

Notes

If you don’t like tempeh, you could try replacing it with fried tofu. If you want to make the dish even more wholesome, red kidney beans would be lovely, too, as they go so well with tomatoes and spices.

  1. Made this without yeast, onion or tempeh, with less tinned tomatoes, and a tad more paprika, turmeric and cumin, and loved it. Will definitely be making again, but with a tiny bit less chili so my wimpy tastebuds can better handle it ;)
