StoveTec Recipe Tracker: See Whats Cooking!

This new StoveTec recipe comes to us from the Peace Corps Zambia's Women In Development Committee. The committee is responsible for empowering women throughout the developing world and helping them to create, implement, and carry out projects to better serve their communities. One such project that was carried out was the creation of a cookbook with over 100 delicious recipes that can all be cooked with the StoveTec Stove! Here is just one to feast your eyes on for now!

Vegetable Curry

1 Potato

1 Eggplant

1/4 cup butter or oil

1 tsp salt

1 tsp cumin

3-4 tomatoes

black pepper

2 green peppers

2 zucchini

1 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp coriander

3-10 garlic cloves

2 tbsp curry powder

1 cayenne pepper

Cut up veggies. Melt margarine in a skillet/pan and add garlic and other spices. Add all the veggies except the tomatoes. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently. Add water if necessary to keep mixture moist. When vegetables are tender, add tomatoes, and heat through.

This Vegetable Curry dish is a great addition to anyones gourmet camping cookbook and a very healthy one at that! Of course, it can easily be made into a non-vegetarian dish by adding in some diced meat, which is sure to blend well with the veggies and sauce! Many thanks to all the powerful woman in Zambia who contributed to this recipe, and cookbook.

Our first StoveTec Stove recipe is here! The StoveTec Haitian Stew recipe, submitted by John and Flip Anderson, is widely used throughout Haiti to cook delicious pumpkin stew on the StoveTec Stove. It is a local favorite in Haiti, but is tasty and simple enough to cook to be a favorite anywhere!

The recipe is as follows:

Pumpkin Stew

1 to 2 lbs meat cut into 1" cubes
2 cloves garlic minced
1 onion cut up
3 tablespoons oil for browning meat
2 or 3 quarts water (more vegetables uses more water)
4 lbs pumpkin, seeds & skins removed, cut into large chunks
2 or 3 potatoes washed and cut into bite-sized pieces
2 or 3 carrots peeled and sliced into bite-sized pieces
lots more vegetables cut into bite-sized pieces (beans, cabbage, peas, broccoli, cauliflower, etc.)
3-5 bouillon cubes for flavor

Brown meat in oil, remove meat from pot and set side. Saute onion and garlic in remaining oil and then add water and pumpkin. Boil until pumpkin is soft. Mash the water and pumpkin together (this creates a medium-thick broth). Add remaining vegetables, mean and bouillon. Simmer until all vegetables are cooked. Add salt and pepper, or other spices of choice for taste.

The StoveTec Haitian Pumpkin Stew can be a great addition to the menu of anyone who enjoys cooking outdoors, wants to be prepared (without sacrificing taste!) for times without a full kitchen, or simply enjoys the simplicity and fun of cooking with a non-electric rocket stove.

Water Pasteurizer Now Ready for Distribution!

The new StoveTec Water Pasteurizer has the chance to significantly improve global health issues caused by unsafe drinking water. Water Pasteurization is a technique that makes water safe to drink for human consumption without having to bring it to a boil. Paired with a StoveTec Rocket Stove, 6 liters of water can be brought up to 65 degrees Celsius - the temperature required to pasteurize water- in mere minutes. After pasteurization the water is clean, safe to drink, and maintains the un-altered taste of water. Water borne diseases are responsible for over 2.5 million deaths a year. These diseases can be prevented if water is pasteurized before consumption. Please spread the word and together we can improve the quality of life all over the world!
