For the beans

  • 3 cloves garlic sliced
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 courgette sliced into cubes
  • 4 mushrooms sliced

Instructions

To make the mash

  • Peel and chop the potatoes into small cubes. Add them to a medium pan of boiling water with a pinch of salt.
  • Cook on a high simmer for approx 10 minutes until soft. Allow to cool a little, then drain the potatoes.
  • Add them to a food processor with the other ingredients and blitz to a creamy mash.
  • Alternatively–add everything to a large bowl, then mash roughly with a fork or masher.

To make the beans

  • Add the oil and leek to a wide bottom pan and fry gently on a low heat for around 8-10 minutes until soft and browning.
  • Add the garlic and spices and fry for 30 seconds more.
  • Now add the courgettes, mushrooms and fry for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes and allow to cook down for a few minutes until they breakdown.
  • You can now add the beans and remaining ingredients and cook for 10 minutes.

To serve

  • Top the mash with the beans and then add plant based yogurt and fresh herbs.
