Ingredients

    2 x Medium brown onions
    2 x cans plain peeled tomatoes
    1 can red kidney beans (in brine)
    2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
    Half a cabbage
    Half a celery head
    Beef stock (1 litre) or 4 oxo cubes
    250 grams of mushrooms
    3 teaspoons of Chilli and garlic paste (more if you like it real hot!)
    Salt to taste (say half a teaspoon)

Tips

Could make it vegetarian by replacing the beef stock with vegetable stock.

You can make the cabbage and celery coarse if you want - a personal choice. A decent nutritious and filling low calorie meal - on a diet or not. Enjoy!


Directions

Chop the onions and fry until soft and brown
Add the chilli paste and fry for another 30 secs.

If you have a blender whizz up the cabbage and celery until quite fine and add as the filler.
