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.
