Equipment

  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Big pan/pot (for the veggies)
  • large frying pan (for the beans)
  • Grater

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large carrots (grated)
  • 2 leeks (cut into rings)
  • 1 large onion (chopped)
  • 3 cloves garlic (chopped)
  • 1 courgette (zucchini) (cut into cubes)
  • 2 pointy paprika or bell peppers (cut into half rings)
  • 2 spring onions (cut into rings)
  • 250 grams chestnut mushrooms (cut into slices)
  • 200 grams tomato sugo (passata) (you can add more if needed)
  • 2 large tsp shoarma spice mix (Or Italian or Mexican spice mix)
  • ¼ tsp salt (¼ tsp with the veggies and ¼ tsp with the beans)
  • (olive) oil
  • 400 grams dried kidney beans (soaked, rinsed and cooked as per instructions on the packet)

Instructions
 

  • Cut up all your veggies and start by frying them in some (olive) oil until everything is lightly browned and cooked
  • Add the tomato sugo until the veggies are blended. They shouldn't be swimming in the sugo, just add a little so everything comes together
  • Add in the salt and spices and leave that to simmer on very low heat, while you shallow fry the beans
  • Rinse your cooked (kidney) beans and shallow fry them in a small layer of (olive) oil on pretty high heat and stirring often so nothing burns
  • When they start to crack, sizzle, and pop and you see the change in texture, stir in the salt
  • Taste and add in more salt if you like
  • Scoop the veggies into a bowl, add in a good amount of beans and top it off with some spring onions.
    Enjoy!
