A Chick’n and Bean Stew in this weather is surely not appropriate is it? It’s hot hot hot outside and my kids keep telling me to stop giving them hot food on the “hottest day ever” but I had some veg to use up so, sorry kids but you’re getting a stew tonight! I keep telling them anyway that hot food cools you down – doesn’t it?
This recipe can be altered to whatever you have to use and I love a meal that uses up ingredients so just go with the flow and it will work with any veg – add a little cabbage, spinach, swede, cauli… I used cherry tomatoes only because they were too ripe to eat raw but I would usually just chuck a can and a half of chopped tomatoes in instead.
This is a great one-pot meal and you can add a salad, new potatoes or just eat it as is!
