A delicious diabetic-friendly recipe that includes Rooibos tea
Ingredients
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) desiccated coconut
  • 200 ml low-fat milk
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive or canola oil
  • 2 onions, coarsely chopped
  • 3 carrots, halved and sliced
  • 3 baby marrows, halved and sliced
  • 4 tsp (20 ml) curry powder or to taste
  • 4 tsp (20 ml) ground cumin
  • 2 tsp (10 ml) paprika
  • 300 g butternut, peeled and cubed
  • 1½ cups (375 ml) Rooibos tea
  • 1 small red chilli, whole (optional)
  • 1 x 410 g tin red kidney beans, drained
  • 2 x 175 g tins tuna, with the liquid
  • ½ tsp (2,5 ml) salt
  • lemon juice and black pepper to taste
  • handful fresh coriander leaves, chopped
Instructions
  1. Mix the coconut into the milk and allow to stand.
  2. Heat the oil in a large pot over a medium heat and fry onions, carrots and baby marrows for a few minutes.
  3. Add spices and butternut and fry until aromatic. Reduce the heat and stir in the tea or water with the chilli. Simmer with the lid for 20 minutes or until the veggies are just cooked.
  4. Add beans, tuna with the liquid, coconut with the milk and salt. Simmer for another 5 minutes or until heated through.
  5. Season with lemon juice and pepper. Stir in chopped coriander and garnish with more fresh leaves.
Serve in bowls with slices of avocado. This dish has enough carbs to fill you up, so it is not necessary to serve with more carbs. Enjoy with a green salad.
Notes
If preferred, add another 50-100 ml milk with the coconut for a saucier hot pot.
