4 cups mixed beans, eg kidney, pinto, adzuki
3 1/4 cups canned chopped tomatoes

Spices:

2 tbsp ground cumin
1/2 tbsp Hungarian paprika
1 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp Chinese 5-spice powder
1-2 green chillies, heat to taste (optional)
1 tbsp stock powder, or 1 stock cube
1 tbsp mushroom soy sauce, or vegan Worcestershire sauce
hot pepper sauce to taste (optional)

Seasonings:
1 tbsp cider or white wine vinegar
6 tbsp tomato puree
Salt and freshly-ground black pepper to taste
Sweetener of choice, to taste (optional)

Vegetables:

2 medium zucchini
8-15 cloves garlic
2 cups canned sweetcorn, or equivalent frozen unthawed

Recipe



Chop the onions, carrots and celery into small dice. Saute them in a large pan, either in vegetable stock, or using sunflower oil if
you prefer, for 5 minutes. Add the wine, basil, oregano and bay
leaf, and cook, stirring, until most of the wine has evaporated.
Add the drained beans, and the undrained tomatoes. Mix in the spices along with 1 cup water. Simmer for 40 minutes over
low heat, stirring occasionally.

Add the seasonings. Cook over low heat for 10 minutes, then taste and sweeten with sugar, maple syrup, or anything else, if you think it needs it. Now simmer for a long time - about 2 hours more perhaps. While this is happening, prepare the vegetables - chop the (sweet bell) peppers; quarter the zucchini lengthways and slice; finely chop or crush the garlic; and drain the sweetcorn if using canned. Don't thaw frozen sweetcorn yet though. Add the peppers and zucchini about 40 minutes before you're going to stop cooking it, and the garlic and frozen sweetcorn about 10 minutes before the end. Don't add canned sweetcorn until you're about to serve or freeze, then just give it long enough to heat through.
