Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Pull out a large frying pan, a sieve & a measuring jug
Get started

Simmer the stew
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then add to the beef pan, along with the ground almonds, sundried tomato paste, red pepper tapenade, stock powder and 300ml water
- Bring to a boil then simmer for 8 mins, until the sauce thickens and the beef is cooked. Add the mangetout in the final 2 mins of cooking. Season to taste. Add a splash of water if it's a little thick
Plate up
