Instructions:

  1. Prep Vegetables – Trim and cut 450 g (1 lb) green beans, peel and slice 2 medium carrots, peel and dice 2 medium potatoes, chop 1 small onion, and mince 3 garlic cloves.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics – Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  3. Bloom the Spices – Stir in 2 tbsp tomato paste, 1 tsp dried thyme, and 1 tsp paprika. Cook for 1–2 minutes to deepen flavor.
  4. Add Vegetables and Broth – Add green beans, carrots, potatoes, and 3 cups vegetable broth. Stir well.
  5. Simmer – Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 35–40 minutes until vegetables are tender.
  6. Season and Serve – Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm, ideally with basmati rice.

Notes:

  • Bloom the tomato paste in the oil for 1–2 minutes before adding liquid — this deepens the flavor significantly.
  • Cut vegetables to a similar size so they cook at the same rate.

Storage:

  • Fridge for up to 4 days. Freezes well for up to 3 months. Flavor improves the next day.

Swaps:

  • Add white beans or chickpeas for extra protein.
  • Swap potatoes for sweet potatoes or turnip.

Tips:

  • Serve with crusty bread or basmati rice to soak up the rich tomato broth.
