Ingredients

    3 yellow bell peppers, seeded and chopped
    3 celery stalks, diced
    125 grams (about 4.5 oz.) butternut squash, peeled and diced
    3 cloves garlic, chopped
    2 aubergines (eggplant) sliced in 1/2" thick rounds
    1 red chili pepper, seeded and chopped
    2-3 T tamarind paste
    3 T. tomato puree
    1/4 c. sugar (to taste)
    2 T. olive oil
    2 T. fresh coriander or flat-leaf parsley

Directions

Heat 1 T. oil in a large skillet. Add bell peppers, celery, butternut squash, and garlic. Cook for about 10 min. until vegetables are soft. Add the chili pepper, tamarind, tomato puree, and sugar. Add cumin and turmeric if desired. Add 1/4 c. water and let sauce reduce.
