Pumpkin Curry Vegetable Stew

I love fall for all the squashes. Today we bought pumpkins, acorn squash and butternut squash. 

I was trying to think of what I should make tonight. The weather was nice today. Kinda chilly. I was thinking soup but I found this recipe for a stew and I said 'sure why not' 

1 cooking pumpkin 

1 carrot

2 tomatoes 

1onion 

1plantain 

2 cloves of garlic

3 white potatoes

2 tbs oil

2 tbs curry

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground ginger (I know I have raw ginger in the pic but the recipe called for ground)

1 scotch bonnet 

1 1/2c water 

Salt and pepper to taste 

I chop everything before starting. That's just me. Chopping calms me. I love it. 

In the pot put the oil onion and garlic until translucent. Then add the tomatoes w the spices. It will look like a paste because the tomatoes sweat. Mix well. It forms like a nice paste. Add the pumpkin, potatoes, plantain and carrot and coat the veggies. Add 1 1/2c of water. Bring to boil then simmer w a lid on. 

Simmer till the veggies are fork tender. Usually 35-40 minutes. 

Look how amazing that is. It's so good.
