Home » COOK » Recipes » Vegan Recipes »I’m going to be sharing several vegan recipes in the next few days that I’ve been preparing for us as part of our detox…today it’s a Kidney Bean & Chickpea Stew, and tastes good hot or cold (the next day!)
Kidney Bean & Chickpea Stew
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp water

- 1 x 400g can kidney beans rinsed and drained
- 1 x 400g can chickpeas rinsed and drained
- 1 tsp dried mixed herbs
- 250 ml vegetable stock
- 2 tsps cornflour
Instructions
- Heat a saucepan and add the water - 'fry' the onion, garlic and red pepper for a couple of minutes until they start to soften, stirring continuously. Add a touch more water if you feel you need to.
- Add the mushrooms, tomatoes, kidney beans, chickpeas, herbs and stock. Stir and bring to the boil.

Shopping in your store cupboards is a great way to save a bit of cash too – we often do that lol! x

I make a bunch of vegetarian and vegan stews even though my husband is a total carnivore. Your stew looks delicious!
Thanks for sharing at Tuesdays with a Twist!

We were total carnivores, but honestly, right now, I’m not missing meat at all…I plan to re-introduce some, but I’m happy with a vegan/veggie lifestyle x
