Ingredients:

Sweet Potatoes
Sweet corn

Carrots
Spring onions
Tomatoes
Onions

Procedure

I washed the vegetables and sliced them into tiny pieces. The tomatoes, onions, springs onions, carrots.

I washed the green peas and maize and cooked them for a while.

I washed the potatoes and and also cooked them until they are well cooked.

I put fry pan on fire and added small dash of oil. I added some onions to the oil. I then added tomatoes and stored it while allowing it to cook a while.

I added stock cube, salt, grinded pepper and onions to the steaming tomatoes.

I then added the carrots, green peas and the sweet corn and stirred them together. I added a little water to let it cook a little so that the vegetables won’t loose their freshness.

I didn’t let it cook for long. Then I added the fresh spring onions and stirred it and the vegetables sauce was ready to serve.

The Story Behind It. Tell us the story behind , Why did you choose this recipe for the contest. Have tried to make healthy food for your kids.

I have always loved to eat fresh foods and vegetables. There is this special excitement I get when my food is colourful. When my food is colorful, the sight alone amuses me and I relish it with joy.

So when it was time to eat the rainbow, I thought of what better way to eat something colourful if not to make my favorite sauce with all manner of colourful vegetables and off I went and it turned out beautiful.

Couples with the fact that I love sweet potatoes and the fact that they are very filling. I don’t have kids yet so I make the colorful food for myself. I used it for dinner and I had a great time eating and relishing it. I ate the rainbow indeed.
