  vegetables can be added to the stew 10 minutes before

  Note: Commercially-made, good quality creamed coconut
  can be bought in 7 ounce packets.  Available in most
  supermarkets, grocery and health shops, it can be
  stored for weeks in the refrigerator, to be used in
  sauces, stews, desserts and drinks.
