Method

  • Step 1

    Heat a drizzle of olive in a pan on a low to medium heat. Add in the chopped onions, garlic, ginger, cashew nuts, Herbes de Provence & scotch bonnet. Sauté for 5 minutes. Add in the fresh chopped tomatoes and continue to cook for 6 minutes or until tomatoes begin to break down

  • Step 2

    Transfer cooked ingredients into the Ninja Blender along with the coconut milk and blend until smooth

  • Step 3

    Add the blended sauce back into the saucepan on a low to medium heat. Place in the fresh thyme sprigs, sliced courgette, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, grated vegan parmesan, torn nori sheets, salt & black pepper (to taste). Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes stirring occasionally

  • Step 4

    Lastly, turn heat off and very gently fold in the drained and rinsed ackee and chopped dill

  • Step 5

    I served with penne pasta mixed with a green pesto & dill. I topped it with fried courgette pieces, sautéed ackee, chopped sun-dried tomatoes and toasted pine nuts
