Equipment

1 Wooden chopping board

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cans Peas 290g each, drained or with liquid, adjust for saltiness
  • 200 g Carrots peeled and sliced
  • 150 g Onion chopped
  • 150 g Red pepper chopped
  • 3 tbsp Rice bran oil
  • 3 cloves garlic sliced
  • 2 Buckwheat flour
  • 2 tbsp Tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp Sweet red paprika
  • 1 tsp Salt sea or pink, to taste
  • ½ tsp Black pepper
  • ½ tsp Dry thyme
  • 800 ml Vegetable stock or water
  • Dill fresh, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Peel and chop all vegetables.
  • In a cast-iron pot or deep saucepan, heat the rice bran oil over medium heat.
  • Add the chopped onion, carrots, pepper, and garlic. Sauté for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden.
  • Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the buckwheat flour and stir well to coat the vegetables.
  • Sprinkle in the paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  • Gradually pour in the vegetable stock while stirring constantly to dissolve the flour.
  • Add the canned peas. Stir to combine.
  • Lower the heat and simmer for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove from heat and finish with freshly chopped dill.

Notes

This stew thickens more as it sits; add water or stock to loosen when reheating.
Perfect with gluten-free flatbread, potatoes, or steamed rice.
Dill adds freshness, don’t skip it if you can!
For a low-FODMAP version, replace onion and garlic with leek greens and garlic-infused oil.
