Cut the peppers, onion & aubergine into small pieces, marinade the aubergine in a bowl with olive oil & Res-el-hanout spice, mix well & cover, place in a fridge for at least 1 hr.
Soak any wooden skewers in water for at least 1 hr to prevent them burning, or use metal skewers.
Load the skewers with the ingredients in any order, pre-heat the grill & cook, brushing any marinade left over the veg, keep turning, until cooked & the veg has browned around the edges.
*Or place on an oven-proof dish & cook in a pre-heated oven, turning from time to time, until cooked.

Hiya Pete. Just a quick question about your famous peanut curry. I'm wanting to make it for 4 people , so do I need to double the quantity of all the ingredients ?
Ta loads.
All your recipes look amazing. Looking forward to trying a lot of these out x
 
Yes just double the chicken,tomatoes, etc but only increase the spices by 1/2 the amount again.

Hi Pete,I,m new on here .Have read your recipes and they are super.
I wonder if you have any no syns or low syns way of thickening stews etc.
I made a lovely beef stew which was all free,then used lots of syns to thicken it with gravy granules!
I make a huge batch and freeze it.
 
You could use 1tbsp of cornflower ( low syns) or 1tbsp of tomato puree (free)

Sorry to butt in on ur thread but I use tomato puree added at "browning stage" and throughally cooked out (I use a good 2 heaped tablespoons). It seems to work well enough although sometimes I do add a dessert spoon of gravy granuals to thickened and just syn it!
 
Thanks for that tip Kaz.
