- Place all the paste ingredients in a food processor and blitz into a coarse paste.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy based saucepan. Add the paste and GARDEN GOURMET® Vegan Fillet Pieces and sauté over a medium-low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally making sure the paste doesn’t burn.
- Then add the black-eyed peas, Scotch bonnet chilli and tomato purée and mix. Pour in the tomato sauce, vegetable stock and the peanut butter and stir in well.
