• Cover and simmer for about 2 hours.

POROTOS GRANADOS (CHILEAN BEAN STEW)

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a stock pot over medium heat; add the onion and cover. Cook the onions until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir the squash, great Northern beans, and lima beans into the pot; pour the chicken stock over the mixture. Cover and cook until the squash is tender and beginning to break apart, 30 to 45 minutes.
• Stir the corn and basil into the stew; cook until the stew reaches the consistency of pancake batter, about 10 minutes more. Sprinkle the chopped banana pepper over individual portions to serve.

PERSIAN HERB, RED BEAN & LAMB STEW

Steps:

• Put the dried red kidney beans in a heatproof bowl, cover with boiling water and leave to soak for 1 hr.
• Heat a flameproof casserole over a medium-low heat for a few minutes before adding 2 tbsp oil. Season the lamb and sear on all sides until golden brown, then remove to a plate. Fry the onions over a low heat for 8-10 mins until soft and translucent.
• Drain and rinse the soaked kidney beans, then add them to the onions along with the turmeric and dried limes. Stir to coat in the spiced oil, then return the lamb to the casserole. Pour over 1 litre water, or enough to cover the lamb, and bring to the boil. Cover with a lid, then turn down to a simmer. Leave the lamb to gently braise for 1 hr.
• Put the coriander and parsley in a food processor and blitz to chop finely (you can also do this by hand, but the finer the herbs, the better the stew's flavour and consistency).
• In a separate frying pan over a medium heat, fry the leeks in the remaining 1 tbsp oil for 6-8 mins until softened. Stir in the fenugreek leaves, blitzed herbs and chives - it is sometimes easier to add these in batches. Fry for 5 mins until the herbs are dark green (this removes moisture and deepens the flavour).
• Once the lamb has braised for 1 hr, add the leek and herb mixture along with 250-500ml hot water to loosen, stirring well. Braise for a further 2 hrs, or until the lamb is completely tender and falling off the bone. Add a dash of hot water to loosen if the sauce has thickened too much - I prefer it to be almost broth-like, but that is personal preference. Season to taste (a good pinch or two of sea salt is essential) and, depending on the acidity from the dried limes, add a squeeze of lime juice for a fresh finish.

HARICOT/GREEN BEAN LOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190°C.
• Lightly oil a loaf tin and line the base with grease-proof paper.
• Put the remaining oil and the leek in a small saucepan and cook over a low heat for 5 minutes. Add the ginger, cumin and coriander and cook for a further minute. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
• Place the onion, carrots, garlic, parsley, sunflower seeds, oat bran, vegetable stock powder and one of the cans of beans (either is fine) in a food processor and blend for 20 seconds until semi-smooth. Transfer into a large bowl and stir in the second can of beans and the leek mixture.
• Spoon into the prepared tin and bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown in color.
• Turn out of the tin onto a serving plate. Serve either hot or cold with a salad.

FASOLAKIA LADERA (GREEN BEANS STEW)

Steps:

• If using fresh beans cut off the tips on both ends and if necessary remove strings along the edges.
• Heat the olive oil in a pan and fry the onions and garlic until softened.
• Add the beans and fold gently a few times until beans soften up a bit.
• Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper & paprika and 300 ml of boiling water, bring to the boil and simmer for half an hour.
• Add potatoes and make sure they are just covered in the water. (Add more boiling water if necessary). Cover pan and simmer for 1-1½ hours or until potatoes are very soft.
• Turn heat off and stir in the cinnamon. DO NOT ommit the cinnamon. This is what makes this dish really special.
• Garnish with parsley (optional) and serve with fresh bread and feta cheese.
• Can also be eaten cold.

LINDA'S VEGAN TOMATO POTATO GREEN BEAN STEW

MY MOTHER'S GREEN BEAN BREDIE (STEW)

Steps:

• Steam the lamb neck, onion and spices (salt sparingly) with 1/2 cup of water for half an hour or until very tender.
• (In the pressure cooker I use, this means that there is still a good bit of juice left; otherwise add another half cup before the next step - the stew should end up moist but without runny juices).
• Add the potatoes and beans and steam for another 5 minutes, by which time the potatoes should be falling apart.
• Taste for seasoning (quite peppery is good) and mash the potatoes, beans and a fair-sized lump of butter with a potato masher.
• It doesn't matter if some bits of the meat come off the bone and get mixed into the mashed potatoes and beans.
• Serve with glazed carrots and a sweet and sour tomato and onion salad.

BRETON BRAISED LAMB & HARICOT BEANS

Steps:

• Put the beans in a saucepan and cover with water. Add the quartered onion, the halved carrot and halved celery, the bay leaves, parsley stalks and peppercorns. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 30-40 mins until the beans are soft. Drain well and reserve the cooking liquid, discarding the onion, carrot and celery.
• While the beans are cooking, heat half the olive oil in a heavy-based flameproof casserole. Brown the lamb in batches over a high heat. As each batch is cooked, remove it and set aside on a plate. Reduce the heat, add the chopped onion to the pan with the diced celery and carrot and cook until well coloured. Add the garlic and cook for another couple of mins.
• Return the lamb to the pan and add all the remaining ingredients, except the beans. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat to very low and cover, then cook for 2 hrs. Add the beans 45 mins before the end of cooking time. Stir the lamb round every so often. If the lamb looks dry, add some of the bean cooking liquid.
• Remove the lid for the last 30 mins of cooking time, and season. This helps the cooking liquid to reduce. You should end up with a thick stew of tender lamb and soft beans. Scatter over the parsley and serve.
