Ingredients
🌱 = Get It From The Source
1 leek
1 red onion
2 carrots
2 sticks of celery
olive oil 🌱
2 medium sweet potatoes
1 medium butternut squash
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 pinch of red chilli flakes and 1 deseeded whole red chilli 🌱
1 tablespoon vegetable stock powder
1 -2 teaspoons of Mee CBD Powder 🌱
Method
- Fill and boil a kettle and get all your ingredients together. Grab your largest saucepan.
- Wash and finely slice the leek, and finely slice the onion, carrots and celery. Pull the leaves off the rosemary sprigs and chop. Deseed and chop the red chilli
- Heat a large pan on a medium heat and add a little olive oil. Once the pan is hot, add the chopped veg and fresh chopped chilli and cook for 10–15 minutes, until soft and sweet.
- Meanwhile, peel the sweet potatoes and chop into large chunks. Deseed the squash and roughly chop into similar-size chunks (I leave the skin on, but if you like you could peel this too).
- Make up your 2 litres of special Mee stock using one stock cube or your stock powder. Add the Mee powder to the hot stock and mix.
- Once the vegetables are soft and smelling good, add the sweet potatoes, squash and spices along with your stock. Bring to the boil, then turn down to a simmer and cook for 30–40 minutes, until the vegetables are soft and falling apart, topping up with a little hot water from the kettle if it starts to look a little thick.
- Serve topped with a little creme fraiche or vegan creme fraiche and a sprig of fresh rosemary.
