Ingredients

    Bulgur Wheat
    1 Courgette
    1/2 Leek
    1/4 Cabbage
    6 Cherry Tomatoes
    Olive Oil
    1/4 bunch Basil
    1/2 tin Beans ( 1/2 tin of two types)
    1/4 Stock pot (180ml)
    Dried Mushrooms (1/4 cup)
    1/4 bunch Thyme
    1/2 cup Soya Beans
    2 cloves Garlic

Directions

Soak dried mushrooms in enough water to cover for 10 minutes. Add to half the tinned beans and the soya beans in a pan and cook until tinned beans are soft and break apart when stirred. Top up with as little liquid as is required throughout. Then blend to create a paste.

Fry garlic in an ovenproof cast iron pot. Add chopped veg and thyme, and stir until veg begins to wilt. Add bean paste and continue to cook until it begins to stick and crust on the bottom of the pan. Add stock (one stock pot in 750ml water makes 4 portions), finely chopped basil stalks, remaining beans and cherry tomatoes.

Place lid of pot on top with gap to let steam escape and put in oven for half hour or longer to let it reduce to a thick stew. Add torn basil leaves and season to taste before serving.
