For The Stew

In a large pot on medium high heat add tablespoon of olive oil and green caribbean seasoning. Saute until the seasoning starts to brown and add bouillon and potatoes. Followed by onions, bell peppers, kale, celery, and mock conch. Saute until kale begins to wilt. Add tomatoes, water, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Taste to add sea salt and pepper. Reduce heat down to medium and cover and allow stew to cook for approximately 35 minutes until the mock conch has become tender and the flavors come together. Taste for additional flavor adjustments. Add chickpea pasta and additional water. Cover to allow pasta to cook for an additional 8-9 minutes.
Serve.

Allow the stew to cool down to room temperature and refrigerate, the next day stew tastes even better!
