Root Vegetable, Black Eye Bean and Barley Stew : (vegetarian)
This thick and comforting winter vegetable stew makes a large amount, perfect for sharing or making ahead for lunches. Ingredients: vegetable stock pods

INGREDIENTS
2 Vegetable stock pots
1tbsp cold-pressed rapeseed oil
1 white onion, diced
Epicure Chopped Garlic
2 tsp Epicure Double Concentrated Tomato Purée
1 tbsp
100ml dry white wine
Swede
2 Large carrots
1 Large parsnip
1 Large sweet potato
200g Pearl barley, rinsed and drained
1.5 tsp chunky salt + more to taste
4 sprigs Rosemary
2 Bay leaves
2 tins Epicure Black Eye Beans in Salted Water, rinsed and drains
120g Fresh Spinach

Method :Set a kettle on to boil with 1 litre water. Put stock pots in a bowl or large measuring cup and pour over boiling water when ready, stirring to dissolve. Set aside for later.
Meanwhile, dice the onion. Peel and chop the swede, carrots and parsnips into large bite size chunks (about 1 inch). You want large chunks as they will be cooking for quite a while and you want them to keep their shape and texture. Peel and dice the sweet potato a bit larger than the rest (about 1.5 inches) as it will cook faster.
Set a large heavy bottomed pan over medium heat with a tablespoon of oil. Add the onion along with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until softened (about 5 minutes). Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds to take the edge off. Add the tomato puree and cook 2 minutes, stirring to avoid scorching. Now add the wine and turn the heat up to medium high. Cook at a fast simmer for 2 minutes to evaporate a bit.
Add the swede, carrots, parsnip, sweet potato and barley to the pot. Stir in the vegetable stock and salt. Nestle the rosemary and bay leaves into the stock. Pop on a lid, turn the heat to high and bring to a boil. Once at a boil, lower the heat to the lowest setting and simmer for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, carefully remove the rosemary and discard. Stir in the black eye beans. Again, cover and raise the heat to bring back up to a simmer and then lower to the lowest setting and cook for another 15 minutes more, or until the barley and veg are just cooked through.
Remove and discard the bay leaves. Stir through the spinach. Heat and stir gently just until the spinach has wilted a bit. Taste and season with salt, if needed.
Spoon into bowls and serve with a side of crusty bread.

TIP: To reheat, simply thin it out with a bit of extra stock or water.
