Cooking Steps
Boil plenty of generously salted water in a lidded pot or saucepan. Thoroughly wash the potatoes and roughly chop. Slice the onion into half rings and crush or mince the garlic. Finely grate the ginger. Halve and deseed the Romano pepper, then cut into thin strips. Slice the courgette and carrot into crescents.
Heat the olive oil in a lidded deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the courgette, carrot, pepper, onion, garlic and ginger for 3 - 4 minutes. Stir in the chopped dates and fry for a further 1 - 2 minutes.
Stir in the African-style herbs and crumble in the stock cube, then pour in the water (see pantry for amounts) (see Tip). Cover with the lid and allow to simmer for 10 - 12 minutes over medium heat. Make some space among the vegetables at the bottom of the pan and then place the Greek-style cheese here. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 1 - 2 more minutes.
Health tip: If you're watching your salt intake, omit the stock cube.
In the meantime, boil the potatoes for 12 - 15 minutes or until done, then drain and set aside.
Did you know... that potatoes are incredibly healthy? They are a good source of complex carbohydrates, potassium and fibre, as well as vitamins C, B6 and B11!
Finely chop the parsley and quarter the lemon. Squeeze some lemon juice directly into the vegetables as preferred, then allow to cook for 5 - 6 more minutes over medium-high heat, uncovered. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Stir the extra virgin olive oil and two thirds of the parsley into the potatoes, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve the potatoes and vegetable stew on deep plates. Garnish with the rest of the parsley and any remaining lemon wedges.
