INSTRUCTIONS
This recipe is very good, also very unusual, I've never seen another similar. It's based on a dish by Mark McEwen from North 44 , supposed to be one of Toronto's best reastaurants. I've never been there. Alexandra?? Jennifer?? Heat olive oil in Dutch oven. Add garlic, ginger, leeks, cook gently until leeks wilt. Add a little water if pan appears dry. Add carrots, fennel, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and squash. Combine well and cook about 20 minutes. Add vinegar, honey, chili paste, and five-spice powder. Bring to a boil. Add tomatoes, corn and chickpeas. Cook for 10-15 minutes longer, uncovered, until thick and stew-like. Add sesame oil, cilantro and basil. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serves 6-8.
