No Shop Bean Stew

I made this stew the other day when we arrived back from our holiday, I really didn’t want take-out but arrived home on a Sunday evening when the shops were closed.  It uses ingredients that I always have in my house, and you could easily swap and substitute.  It would also be great at the end of the week if you can’t be bothered to go shopping, or the end of the month when funds are a bit low!  Just ladle into big bowls; it’s a wonderfully smokey and filling stew, oh and suitable for vegans too!

If you are not vegetarian or vegan you could add some chopped chorizo
If you have some fresh (or frozen) vegetables they would be really nice steamed as a side dish
