Ingredients

Servings:4
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 300 g butternut squash, peeled and diced into 1cm cubes
  • 400 g canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 400 g canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 150 g frozen or canned corn, drained
  • 400 g canned chopped tomatoes
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp chilli powder (adjust to taste)
  • ½ tsp ground coriander
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • 4 radishes, thinly sliced, to serve

Method

  1. 1

    Heat the olive oil in a large wide pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened and translucent.

  2. 2

    Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the smoked paprika, cumin, chilli powder, coriander and turmeric, and stir for 30 seconds to toast the spices.

  3. 3

    Add the diced bell peppers and butternut squash. Stir to coat in the spices and cook for 3–4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Pour in the canned tomatoes, then fill the empty can halfway with water and add that too. Season generously with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Add the kidney beans, chickpeas and corn. Stir everything together, bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, until the squash is tender and the sauce has thickened.

  6. 6

    Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve topped with sliced radishes for a fresh, peppery crunch.
