Step by step

Step 1: Preparations

Cut the vegetables into small pieces. Finely chop the ginger and garlic. Finely chop the peppers. Remove the seeds and whites to make the dish less hot.
Heat up the barbecue to a minimum of 140 ̊C, maximum 220 ̊C.

Step 2: Grill

Place a Dutch oven in the grill. Add a dash of oil and fry the onions, garlic and chilies for 2 minutes. Add the chopped vegetables and curry powder. Stir. Spoon in the tomato paste, mix everything and warm thoroughly. Add some water until a nice sauce thickness forms. Finally, add the white beans and season with salt and pepper.

Step 3: Serve

Serve as a side dish or sauce with the barbecue or South African braai. Delicious with rice or bread, for example Potjie bear bread.
