Ingredients

  • 3 fairly large potatoes, cut into bitesize pieces
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 bell pepper (I used red), cut into bitesize pieces
  • ~ 8 medium mushrooms, quartered
  • 1 medium courgette (zucchini), cut into bitesize pieces
  • 400 g tin kidney beans, drained (240g, or ~ 1 1/4 cups, when drained)
  • 400 g tin chopped tomatoes (~ 1 1/3 cups)
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp hot chilli powder
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • 75 g cheddar cheese, grated (~ 3/4 cup when grated)
  • Fresh coriander (cilantro), to serve (optional)

Instructions

  • Toss the diced potatoes in a dash of oil, and spread them out in a large casserole dish or baking dish. Roast at 190°C (Gas Mark 5 / 375°F) for around 45 minutes, tossing halfway, or until mostly cooked and starting to crisp up.
  • Add all of the vegetables to the dish, along with the kidney beans, tinned tomatoes, and spices. Season generously, and mix to combine. Return to the oven for a further 30 minutes, until the vegetables are soft and the tomatoes have formed a rich sauce.
  • Top with the grated cheese, and bake for 15 more minutes, until the cheese has melted. Serve topped with fresh coriander if desired.
