Method
- Peel and chop the squash into bite-sized chunks. Chop the carrot and pepper too.
- Finely chop the onion and garlic.
- Heat the oil in a large pan, add the onion and garlic and sauté for 5 minutes. Add the chopped vegetables and cook for another 5-8 minutes until tender (under cover).
- Add the spices, chipotle paste and tomato purée, then stir for 1 minute.
- Pour in the stock and chopped tomatoes. Bring to the boil and cook for 20 minutes.
