Spanish Stew

This is another adaptation from the wonderful Moosewood Cooking for Health - I've gone through the whole book and there is now a forest of post-its stuck to half the pages!

To make the Spanish Stew, it couldn't be easier - chop an onion, a chilli, some garlic, a red pepper, a small butternut squash (or a couple of sweet potatoes) and lots of green beans (I used runner beans). Fry in a little oil then add about 150ml of stock, a tin of tomatoes, a tsp of thyme and two tsps of smoked paprika. When the squash is cooked, add a tin of drained butter beans and warm through. Season with  plenty of black pepper.

I don't think the picture does it justice!
