Let’s go in….

METHOD
Cleans and chop your green beans, red bell pepper and green bell pepper. Put to a side
Put spaghetti in a pot and fill with cold water so that it covers the surface.

Bring to boil until almost cooked. Take off heat and drain off any liquid properly.
Heat up a pot with 2tbsp olive oil.
Saute the green beans with chopped onions, grated ginger, grated garlic, black pepper (dash), white pepper (dash), and dash of curry powder (mild or medium). When green beans is slightly tender, add the red and green peppers.

Allow to simmer for 5-7 minutes. You can take out the half scotch bonnet at this point if added
Drizzle a little more olive oil if needed. Take and adjust seasoning if needed before taking off heat.
The salmon was crushed and sautéed with few fennel seeds, little grated ginger and parsley in little olive oil…
