Greetings from beautifully sunny Poland. I’m at my parents’ house tonight, but heading back to Krakow tomorrow to catch up with friends and hang out with my brother and his girlfriend. Then back here again to spend a few more days with my mum and dad before I fly back next Friday to be reunited with my husband (still feels weird to refer to him as that), Duncan and our kitty, Tina.
When I shot this recipe two weeks ago, the weather was foul and we were crying out for some comfort food. Putting a large pot of stew on and basking in its warmth made total sense. Now that I am in sunny 25° C (77° F) Poland, it feels a touch ill-timed, but I know that as soon as I touch down in the UK, a bowl of steaming hot veggie stew will be an ideal dinner, so I hope this recipe will come in handy for those of you who aren’t lucky enough to experience an extended summer right now. This simple vegan bean stew inspired by Spanish flavours is easy to make, filling, delicious and healthy. I love to make a big pot of it on Friday so that when we return from our weekend run or a long walk, cold and hungry, we can have a steaming hot bowl of comforting food ready in no time.
