This one-pot bean stew is a hearty meat-free recipe that is perfect midweek comfort food to warm you up on chilly evenings. This version is packed with chunky veggies and plenty of fibre-rich and protein-packed beans and is served with creamy polenta rather than mashed potato.  A great-value dinner that just happens to be vegan.
