Method
- Put the large saucepan or stock pot over medium heat and add the oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring until they start to look transparent.
- Add Worcestershire sauce and paprika and cook, stirring until the liquid has evaporated.
- Add tomato paste, honey, cannellini beans (undrained) and stir through. Add diced tomatoes and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Add mixed vegetables and stock powder and stir through. Simmer uncovered until the vegetables are soft.
- Add the spring onions to the pan and stir them through. Serve.
- Pre-heat the oven to 180oC. Lightly spray the baking tin with oil.
- Place the polenta, flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and bicarbonate soda in a large bowl and stir to combine.
- Put the margarine into a saucepan and place over low heat, until melted.
- Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add the melted margarine, eggs, vinegar, olive oil, cheese, zucchini and carrot. Mix with a spatula until just combined.
- Spoon into baking tin and cook for about 20 minutes, until golden-brown and cooked through.
- Cut into slices to serve. There should be one slice for every serve you are making.
*Vegetables such as peas, corn or carrot would all work well. ^Choose a monounsaturated or polyunsaturated margarine spread.
