A perfectly warming bowl of nutritious bean stew, all made from store cupboard ingredients. Serve flatbreads and a crunchy sprinkle.
I found a stray and somewhat unloved pack of mung beans at the back of the cupboard and made a wholesome and hearty stew. They love the nutty texture, especially when combined with a creamy garlic coconut dip, crunchy/salty sesame seed gomashio and, of course, some flatbreads to scoop it up. Seriously good.
It’s a perfect warming bowl of nutritious beans, all made from store cupboard ingredients. Serve with your choice of flatbreads, chunky sourdough or salad.
I really hope you enjoy, much love Niki xxx

Instructions
To make the mung beans
Soak mung beans for at least 4 hrs or overnight
Firstly, add the oil to a large frying pan and heat to a medium heat. Then add the onion, fry for approx 8-10 minutes on a low to medium heat until soft and browning. Now add the spices, and garlic, stir for a few minutes until fragrant.
Now add in the tomatoes and allow to cook down for a few minutes.

Season well.
To make the flatbreads
Add the gram flour and salt to a large bowl. Stir to combine. Add in the water and olive oil. Mix to a smooth batter. Set aside for 10 minutes.
Add a little oil to the base of a non-stick small frying pan. Add 1/4 cup of the batter to the pan and swirl around the bottom.
Cook on a medium heat for approximately 2 minutes until there are bubbles in the bread and you can lift over to flip easily.
Flip and cook on the other side for 30 seconds to a minute.
Remove from the pan and place on and cover with a clean cloth to keep warm.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
To make the gomashio
Dry toast the sesame seeds and salt in a pan until lightly toasted. Be careful not to burn. Set aside.
To make the dip
Add all the ingredients to a jar and mix to combine.
To serve
