Latest recipe: #Plantpowered bean & vegetable casserole.

So as always I pretty much made this up as I went along, going with vegetables I liked and vegetables I knew would go well together.

Here's what I used to get 8 portions......

Tinned goods:

1 x 400g tin of drained black beans

1 x 400g tin of drained red kidney beans

1 x 400g tin of drained chick peas

The tinned goods were put in first in the bottom of the slow cooker so they cook thoroughly.

Fresh vegetables:

5 chopped vine tomatoes

2 large sliced carrots

1 large chopped white onion

1 large chopped green pepper

1 pack of fresh mange tout

1 pack of whole white mushrooms

5 chopped spring onions

The fresh vegetables were put straight on top of the tinned goods right from the start of cooking.

Herbs & spices etc:

2 vegetable stock cubes

Salt & pepper to suit

2 teaspoons of paprika

2 teaspoons of turmeric

2 teaspoons of lazy garlic from a jar

1 pint of hot water to mix with all of the above and pour over all the other ingredients.

Halfway through cooking I added half a bag of baby spinach and mixed it in.

Finally 5 minutes from the end I sprinkled in vegetable gravy granules to thicken the liquid to suit the consistency I required.

Serve with salad potatoes or sweet potatoes, or portion up into food containers and allow to cool and put in the freezer. Reheat with a mere 3-4 minutes in a microwave after defrosting.

Mine turned out really tasty. I hope yours does too :)
