Lemony Mixed Bean Hotpot [recipe] [vegan]

[Guest guest]

I cooked this for dinner tonight and it was very quick to make and

absolutely scrumptious. I served it with brown rice and petits pois.

I found the recipe on one of those recipe cards you can pick up at

the supermarket to promote their products.

 

Lemony Mixed Bean Hotpot

 

2 Tbsp olive oil

2 onions, peeled and sliced

2 carrots, peeled and cut into thin sticks

1 red pepper, deseeded and sliced

1 Tbsp ground coriander

1 Tbsp ground cumin

390 g (14 oz) chopped tinned tomatoes

300 ml (1 ¼ cups) vegetable stock)

205 g (7 oz/ ½ can) borlotti beans

205 g (7 oz/ ½ can) cannellini beans

205g (7 oz/ ½ can) pinto beans

1 lemon, thickly sliced

20g (a handful) fresh coriander (cilantro) finely chopped

 

Heat oil and cook onion and carrot over and moderate heat until

softened - about 7-10 minutes. Add pepper and spices and cook for a

further minute. Add tomatoes, stock, beans and lemon and cook gently

for 10 minutes. Just before serving remove lemon slices and stir in

fresh coriander (cilantro.)

 

Variation: I used a can of mixed beans and a handful of lentils and

added 2 cloves of garlic and a couple of celery stalks.
