Franca contacted me on Facebook. She read about my project and wanted to be the Bolivian part of “vegan international”. I liked that idea very much – as you know – I LOVE the South American cuisine.
Veggi Franca lives in Sucre – one more reason why she is perfect to be part of my project! 🙂 The cooking (via skype) with her was so funny and entertaining that we made out a second “cooking date” allready. Next time we’re going to make an Bolivian christmas cake.
Sopa de maní
- 1 cup fresh peanuts
- 400 g soy cubes, soaked in hot water and drained
- 1 big carrot, chopped
- 1 cup fresh green peas
- 1 big onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, chopped
- 4 – 5 potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 2 big tomatoes, chopped
- 1 tablespoon cumin or to taste
- 2 tablespoons cayenne pepper or more/to taste
- some fresh parsley, chopped
- peanut oil
- salt & pepper
Place the peanuts in a blender or food processor. Blend them until you have a thick, relatively smooth paste – like peanut butter. You can add water if really necessary.
