Instructions
1.This recipe couldn’t be simpler, bet a large pot and place on a medium heat with a couple of tbsp oil. Add your onions and garlic and stir for a few minutes whilst they start to brown. Add the carrot and celery and keep stirring for a couple of minutes.
2.Next, add in the veggie stock and tinned tomatoes first, before all your other ingredients. Reduce the heat a little so this is on a slow simmer with the lid on but a slight gap to let a little air out whilst the stew thickens. Cook this for at least an hour – hour 1/2 to really develop the flavours. Serve and enjoy!
